That's why the variable is there. For example, I have a /usr/distfiles.release where I link all docproj distfiles into, so no additional disk space is wasted. > For the record, this should be explicitly stated somewhere in the Makefile. > Maybe I'll put in a pr and a patch for it. It _is_ documented in the Makefile. You just have to read it. It has always been said that you should not try to make release unless you have completely read and understood the Makefile.
