By default, the ports subsystem tries to find the package in /usr/ports/distfiles. If you are running some form of distfiles-mirror, perhaps between multiple servers, you may wish to NFS mount your "distfiles" mirror at /usr/ports/distfiles on each client machine - that way if a distfile is downloaded by any machine it will be immediately available to all the others. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
