I've some suggestions for managing the distfiles: - A possibility for fetching _all_ distfiles. (When only one distfile is not available via FTP the fetch break with error's. The fetch shouldn't stop and should try to retreive the other distfiles...) - A possibility to disable the build of depending packages during the fetch. - A possibility to exclude categories in the fetch. - A "make checkdist" (for example) to check which distfiles are out-of-date.
