Maybe just remove FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS from ports > Makefiles? I've asked this question before, the answer was that FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS is still needed for 3.x's fetch(1). The fact is, all ports which specify FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS should make this conditional on FreeBSD's version. In your specific case, just put FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS='' on make's cmdline; the Makefile overrides /etc/make.conf settings, so you can't just stick it there :( G'luck, Peter -- What would this sentence be like if it weren't self-referential?
