Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm currently working on a port that needs to download some text files in addition to the main tarball. What is the Approved way of doing this? The closest thing I could find was how to download additional patches, but that's not what these are. Currently, I have something like this; post-patch: cd $(WRKSRC)/lists;$(FETCH_CMD) ftp://bla.com/foo.gz cd $(WRKSRC)/lists;$(FETCH_CMD) ftp://bla.com/bar.gz This works, but it seems ugly to me (especially since it goes on like this for 15 lines). Any suggestions? Are there other ports with a similar issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim Scarborough http://www.unknown.nu/kim/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Everything's entertainment in America eventually." -Tracey Ullman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
