Subject:   Lesser evil for distfile?
Message-ID:  <7dc1oa$fak$1@mips.rhein-neckar.de>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm currently trying to figure out which kind of distfile is the lesser
evil for a particular port:

- Getting the distfile from the comp.sources.misc archives. This is
  ugly, since the actual part01.{Z,gz} differs from archive to archive
  (-> no MD5 checksum).
  Also, should shar archives be extracted with gunshar (-> dependency)
  or piped straight into sh?

- A nice tarball is available from the distfiles area of
  ftp.{net,open}bsd.org (as well as ftp.debian.org and mirrors).
  However, these aren't original archive sites.

- MASTER_SITE_LOCAL
