[gtk-osx-users] cups server issues

[Alwyn Goodloe <agoodloe gmail com>]

 Typically I would try a bunch of options before consulting a list, but my previous experiences  with gtk builds is that it's easy to make matters worse by doing that. 

When doing 

    jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap 

on OSX 10.6.8 the server is hardcoded to fetch a pretty old version of cups from a particular location that doesn't seem to provide it anymore so I just get 

wget --continue http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/cups/1.2.12/cups-1.2.12-source.tar.bz2 -O /Users/agoodloe/gtk/source/pkgs/cups-1.2.12-source.tar.bz2

--2013-05-28 20:09:06--  http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/cups/1.2.12/cups-1.2.12-source.tar.bz2

Resolving ftp.easysw.com... 208.96.52.102

Connecting to ftp.easysw.com|208.96.52.102|:80... failed: Operation timed out.

Retrying.

until things timeout.  My first inclination would be to install it myself and see if I can figure out how to prevent the auto build from fetching it, but the configuration build still seems brittle anyone know what the best work around is?
