Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:55576 khepler]:
 > Qemu strangely decided to name bzip2 files with the extension ".bz2".
 Since Macports looks for the more traditional .bzip2 extension, the
 distfiles fail to download with HTTP 404 errors.

 That's not correct. .bz2 is the normal extension for bzip2 files. Fetching
 this port works fine for me.

 We had not mirrored the file on our servers, because of #53347. I've
 manually mirrored the file now and it should show up in an hour if you
 want to try again then.

 A possible reason why the port failed to fetch for you is that you may be
 on an older OS version whose openssl is too old to be able to connect to
 qemu's https download location.

 > Suggest using Qemu's xz archives instead.

 Because xz files are smaller than bz2 files, yes, the port should switch
 to using xz files. Perhaps this can be done when the port is updated to
 the next version. I see that 2.11.0 is already available from the
 developers.
