Howdy y'awl I've got a question or three, okay? It's like this: I'm trying to build a bunch of ports by giving the command (so as to overload the line to the local mirror with all the distfiles rather than going outside).... make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp.dk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/ Most of the time it works great (say, for bash). Sometimes it doesn't. I trust that what I am doing is right? Where it fails is when the actual distfiles are in a subdirectory of the site's distfiles directory mirror. Take, f'rinstance, X11, called for when I'm trying to build cvsup. The X11 src.tgz files are in subdirectory `xc' under distfiles. One of the XFree86 Makefiles has this directory as `DISTNAME'. On the other hand, some other ports have DISTNAME and PKGNAME the same. On the third hand, something like `xemacs', which exists as a subdirectory under `distfiles', didn't exist by itself in the Makefile I looked at (but I didn't look too closely). So, the question: Just how do these subdirectories under `distfiles', if present, get specified in the Makefile? And what is the point of the different DISTNAME and PKGNAME and DISTFILES, so that if something is b0rken, I can attempt to fix it? This is probably all answered somewhere, so if you would be so kind as to point me to it, I'll show my gratitude by doing a bunch o' greppin' an' scratchin' and try to fix as best I can the ports that don't properly compile given the above commandline. Otherwise, give me a better generic commandline to get the files out of the local distfiles mirror. Now I have to specify the desired subdirectory when the command without it fails, and that's not nice. I'd guess these subdirectories are a somewhat recent addition? Thanks for letting me bother you. barry bouwsma, tele dnmrk intrnet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
