Hmm, looks like there's some sort of problem with Gerritt Pape's site
where the port tries to fetch the manual pages from.  Right now, you
can fetch the daemontools-0.76-man-20010714.tar.gz from my FreeBSD site -
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/ports/sysutils/daemontools/daemontools-0.76-man-20010714.tar.gz
I've placed the file in the publicly mirrorred directory, so it will
appear on other mirrors, too; once it does, I'll add this local distribution
site to the port, too.

Yep, as explained below, the port has been marked RESTRICTED for ages
and I've not changed that since December; thus, the package building
cluster does not try to build it, and the distribution files have not
appeared on the FreeBSD FTP site.  This will change soon.

It's not restricted "now"; the port has had the RESTRICTED line in
its Makefile ever since version 1.1 (well, okay, it was NO_PACKAGE then)
about nine years ago :)  It's quite another question that I haven't
removed it after Prof. Bernstein put all his software in the public
domain in December 2007; I'll do so soon, right after the files I've
placed in my FreeBSD home directory are mirrorred onto the FTP sites.

Thanks for the heads-up!

G'luck,
Peter
