I would like to specify a site to try first, and then fall back to the list that's already there. If I didn't want to use a specific site (heanet.sf.net does come to mind :-), I'd be more likely to delete it from the list or set the RANDOMIZE... option. I'm not sure I would use a "ignore all master sites" option, although I don't object to the idea, it just seems to me that I'd Cntl-C if I decided not to fetch something. I tend to update a set of ports on a build machine, and either rsync the distfiles or the packages to other machines.... -- -Chuck
