[squeak-dev] problems with web server config for www.squeaksource.com

I get a download error for "DNS Client" when I try to install it using  
the "Package Universe Browser" in 3.10.2 update 7179.

The package tries to install from http://www.squeaksource.com/ 
dnsclient and the home page there says to report problems to this  
list.  I'm not currently subscribed, but I probably should be.

The download fails with an error box opening that says:

        Could not resolve the server named:
        Retry
        Give Up

Also the Package Universe Browser doesn't let me de-select a package  
for install without closing it and starting all over with selecting  
everything I want again, which is very annoying.  However selecting  
version 1.0 of DNS Client works because that one has a valid URL.

An example of what's wrong with the web server on www.squeaksource.com  
can perhaps be better seen from this debugging transcript:

$ ftp -dv http://www.squeaksource.com/dnsclient
parse_url: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host www.squeaksource.com port  
http(80) path `/dnsclient'
savefile `dnsclient'
Requesting http://www.squeaksource.com/dnsclient
received `HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily'

received `Location: /dnsclient/'
parsed location as `/dnsclient/'

received `X-Cache: MISS from www.squeaksource.com'

Redirected to /dnsclient/
fetch_ftp: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host /dnsclient/ port <null>  
path `<null>' dir `<null>' file `<null>'
ftp: /dnsclient/: No address associated with hostname
ftp: Can't connect or login to host `/dnsclient/'


That's obviously not a valid "Location:" header being generated by the  
web server there.

(of course this could also be solved by always using the proper fully  
qualified URLs in the package browser data too -- the trailing slash  
is necessary for a directory!)


Now I'm getting "PluggableTextMorph(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:  
#hideScrollBarIndefinitely" while trying to load FractalMorph -- guess  
there's a dependency missing....

Something else I'm installing tries to open an MVC window....

Now I've got a "Download Failed" window for 'Monticello15-Bootstrap'  
version: 1.5.477

Apparently It's looking for a file called 'Monticello-kph-477.st' in  
the temp downloadDir and sure enough it's not there.  That would of  
course be because the file isn't on the server any more either:

$ ftp http://installer.pbwiki.com/f/Monticello-kph-477.st
Trying 208.96.32.2...
Requesting http://installer.pbwiki.com/f/Monticello-kph-477.st
ftp: Error retrieving file - `404 Not Found'

Come on guys!  Can't we test releases better and then keep things  
stable for a while?!?!?!?
