FreeBSD pacific.int.topsecret.net 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #0: Sun May 21 07:53:04 EDT 2000     gill@pacific.int.topsecret.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/PACIFIC_1.7  i386
>Description:
when the port for party-2.12 attempts to download the "party-2.12.tar.gz" file, it looks for just ".tar.gz"
this effectively breaks the port, even if you've pulled the correct zipfile down to /usr/ports/distfiles/
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/irc
fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/irc/party.tar
tar -xvf party
cd party
make
[output:
>Fix:
adding the line
DISTNAME=       party-2.12
near the top of the Makefile worked for me!
