This is a little terse for me to be sure of your meaning, but I'll take it to mean I should submit the patch. :-) BTW: I tested libpng-1.6.30 on the full test suite, and the set of failing tests was the same. Cheers, Alistair

Hi All, Esteban,

I just attempted to build the pharo vm on Win32 and it failed due to:

ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng16/libpng-1.6.29.tar.gz

not being available. The current version is 1.6.30, which also appears to be unavailable from this address.

I successfully downloaded 1.6.29 from:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/libpng-1.6.29.tar.gz?download

which is referenced on what appears to be the official web page:

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

I plan to test with 1.6.30 tonight.

Is there any reason not to submit a PR pointing to sourceforge?

Thanks, Alistair

Yes, that's a problem. Some projetcs have a strict policy and remove old versions (for example because they have vulnerabilities). So we have to regularly update our upstream links. But we have caches on Travis/Appveyor because reconstructing those external dependencies is very costly (see the cache directive near line 7 of https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.travis.yml). Consequently, a green build on the CI server might well be red anywhere else...

Thanks for the clarification, I guessed that something like this might be happening. I've opened issue #20341: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20341/ Pull request to follow... Cheers, Alistair
