>This is already covered by existing variables. e.g. if the port >should not be fetched, IGNORE or NO_PACKAGE will be set. There have forever been ports that have one file that needs to be fetched by hand and others that can be fetched with the normal system; emulators/stonx had one in 1999. It makes sense to ask the distfile survey to check the ones that are automatically fetchable but not call the port bad if the one that has to be fetched by hand can't be fetched. Bill
