Hello,

I have tried this from a selection of workstations and even, to make
sure, two servers located in different datacentres. These connections
are not proxied. The problem appearsto be that the primary site
www.dockapps.org redirects to a holding page. When the proper distfile
is fetched from ftp.freebsd.org is downloaded, it fails to compile.

Here is the output from a 10-R machine, about half an hour ago:

Make sure the Makefile and distinfo file
(/usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock/distinfo)
are up to date.  If you are absolutely sure you want to override this
check, type "make NO_CHECKSUM=yes [other args]".
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock

If we try with the suggested "make NO_CHECKSUM=yes" we get the
following:

root at dev-0:/usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock # make NO_CHECKSUM=yes
===>   wmMoonClock-1.27_3 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
===> Fetching all distfiles required by wmMoonClock-1.27_3 for building
===>  Extracting for wmMoonClock-1.27_3
tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock

Let's look at the downloaded file from ftp.freebsd.org:

root at dev-0:/usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock # ls -la
/usr/ports/distfiles/wmMoonClock-1.27.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  829440 Jul 28  2002
/usr/ports/distfiles/wmMoonClock-1.27.tar.gz

root at dev-0:/usr/ports/astro/wmmoonclock # file
/usr/ports/distfiles/wmMoonClock-1.27.tar.gz
/usr/ports/distfiles/wmMoonClock-1.27.tar.gz: data

# gzip -t /usr/ports/distfiles/wmMoonClock-1.27.tar.gz
gzip: /usr/ports/distfiles/wmMoonClock-1.27.tar.gz: not in gzip format

as far as I can tell, the problem remains. How were you able to install
it and what was the file size and type that you downloaded?
