This isn’t so much a fix for the vuxml problem mentioned previously as it is a fix for properly detecting and reporting fetch errors.

I am just back from OSCON. While there, I attempted to incorporate some CSS patches into FreshPorts…. I failed. It is time to Open Source FreshPorts. It uses PHP (website), Perl (message processing), and Python (cache). It’ll take me a while to get the infrastructure into place. I have servers suitable for this purpose. I
