In the second and the following wget lines, you are trying to download subdirectories of ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf/ which doesn't exist. In the first link you are downloading subdirectories of ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/ which does exist and the subdirectories you are trying to download in the second wget line and onwards do exist as subdirectories of texmf-dist. For example: ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/asymptote. But as was already pointed out, these get downloaded by the first wget already. I also looked through the manpage of wget to figure out what all these flags do, but I couldn't find any information on -nv. What does it do? 2014-09-01 20:23 GMT+02:00 Thorsten Jolitz <tjolitz@xxxxxxxxx>: > AK <aakempf@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > > > On 09/01/2014 01:23 AM, Thorsten Jolitz wrote: > >> AK <aakempf@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > >> > >>> Since the URLs are invalid, the build() function seems to fail at the > >>> second wget line and aborts the whole process so no package gets > >>> built.
