Of course: % make check-size foo-1.2 369,638 bar-3.0 27,224 baz-0.8 1,228,846 Total: 1,625,708 might have prevented the mind numbing tedium of downloading linux_base over a 33.6 connection :-) Is files/md5 the best place to put it? I was thinking something like files/size, which would either be 1. The total size of all the distfiles that make up the port, or 2. The size of all the distfiles (distfile\tsize or similar) That way you don't need to do anything to md5(1). N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95.
