Quoting Mark Haney <mark.haney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I've been an Engineer for 20 years now, and been programming since the I
was 9. It's never been 'broke' unless you're from the DEEP DEEP South.
Sorry, man, but proper grammar trumps lingo any day.
such as, for instance, "if it ain’t broke..." yes?

The "unable to resolve host" message indicates you have a broken DNS
system, apparently. On my system:
[root@prophead ~]# host raw.githubusercontent.com
raw.githubusercontent.com is an alias for github.map.fastly.net.
github.map.fastly.net has address 23.235.47.133
So get your DNS stuff fixed first. Further on, I don't recognize that
as a standard repo, so you're sorta on your own.
And as Mark said, the correct adjectival form is "broken".

hi rick,
thanks for a *useful reply!* it used to be the sole purpose for this
list's existence.
my dns is configured to leverage my att isp service, i'll look harder at
the failure
(as well as what pkg/repo is invalid)..
lastly, to the <?> on this list, my software engineer career spanned
1977->2014
during which the terminology solely used by my peers was, 'bla-bla was
broke" !
but you newbies carry on with what ever lingo floats your boat!
