#37315: impossible to install FreeTDS +odbc
--------------------------+--------------------------------

Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:  freetds,odbc  |       Port:
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 I am trying to install the `freetds +odbc` variant. There appears to be no
 copy of any of the files it tries to fetch on the Internet, so I had to
 finally follow the instructions here
 (`https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort`) to install an
 old version (@0.91, found via
 `https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/databases/freetds/Portfile?rev=98613#L5`)
 that was available on the macports download site
 (`http://distfiles.macports.org/freetds/`).

 I find it strange that the portfile would be updated out without the new
 version being available in any of the macports mirrors!

 Just wanted to report the problem. Any feedback on what I should do
 differently in the future is welcome!
