Huh? I tried all of those and they still work. $ cd /usr/ports/devel/py-gdata/ $ make fetch ===> Checking files for py-gdata-2.0.18 >> Fetch https://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/files/gdata-2.0.18.tar.gz gdata-2.0.18.tar.gz 100% |******************************| 2417 KB 00:02 $ cd /usr/ports/devel/gtest/ $ make fetch ===> Checking files for gtest-1.4.0p1 >> Fetch https://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.4.0.tar.gz gtest-1.4.0.tar.gz 100% |*******************************| 681 KB 00:01 $ cd /usr/ports/databases/leveldb/ $ make fetch ===> Checking files for leveldb-1.5.0p3 >> Fetch https://leveldb.googlecode.com/files/leveldb-1.5.0.tar.gz leveldb-1.5.0.tar.gz 100% |*****************************| 194 KB 00:00 Google Code removed the ability for projects to add new file downloads, but as far as I know they haven't stopped supporting existing links. Github did the same thing, although due to popular demand they re-added the ability to do so, as long as the file is tied to a particular tag. -- Anthony J. Bentley
