I was just saying that the output format of "make fetch-list" had so much extraneous info in it (and it only uses the first MASTER_SITE, which also isn't very useful if you're really interested in fetching the files). The output of "make -m ~fenner/mk bill-fetch" is much easier to parse and includes all of possible URL's. Including all of the MASTER_SITEs is especially important for those ports that have multiple MASTER_SITEs which are not mirrors but instead one file is available from one site and another file is available from the other -- "make fetch-list" will print out one working URL and one bad URL. "make -m ~fenner/mk bill-fetch" will print out 2 working URL's and 2 bad URL's (which is the best you can get with the current ports system). Bill
