Hi all, I'm trying to make a port for something that is distributed in a rather brain damaged fashion (although perhaps the author has his reasons) and I've come across a problem that I don't have a clean solution for. I'm hoping someone here can help me before I package up the port for submittal. The problem is with MASTER_SITES, DISTFILES, and the checksum target. I need to get a eight different files from four different directories. This is what I've done (relevant lines only): PKGNAME= inform-6.15 MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/infocom/compilers/inform6/ DIST_SUBDIR= inform6 DISTFILES= source/inform615_source.zip \ library/inform_library67.tar.gz \ [...etc...] (notice that the files aren't even in the same format, I handle that in a do-extract target since there is other stuff I need to do at extract time anyway). The above fetches all the files okay and puts them all in /usr/ports/distfiles/inform6 (assuming the default $DISTDIR), this is what I want. However, the checksums fail since that target tries to find the files in /usr/ports/distfiles/inform6/source/inform615_source.zip /usr/ports/distfiles/inform6/library/inform_library67.tar.gz [...etc...] What is the best way to fix this? For now I've added the following hack, it works but is ugly. # XXX This is to get checksums to work post-fetch: @if [ ! -e ${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/source ]; then \ ${LN} -sf . ${_DISTDIR}/source; \ ${LN} -sf . ${_DISTDIR}/library; \ ${LN} -sf . ${_DISTDIR}/manuals; \ fi I'm hoping someone has a better suggestion.
