I just ran a: setenv NCFTP ncftp ; unsetenv DUDS ; setenv DUDS "japanese archivers audio benchmarks cad comms databases devel editors" ; unsetenv BATCH ; cd /usr/ports ; make -i fetch as a normal user (not root) & was suprised to see loads of stuff that needed root privelege: ===> x11/xview-clients ===> xview-clients-3.2.1 depends on: /usr/ports/x11/xview-lib ===> Verifying build for /usr/ports/x11/xview-lib ===> xview-lib-3.2.1 depends on: /usr/ports/x11/xview-config ===> Verifying build for /usr/ports/x11/xview-config >> xview3.2p1-X11R6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/ ftp.x.org: gethostbyname herror (2): Host name lookup failure >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/ NcFTP: wcarchive.cdrom.com (65): No route to host >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retreive this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles and try again. *** Error code 1 (ignored) xview3.2p1-X11R6.tar.gz: No such file or directory >> Checksum mismatch for xview3.2p1-X11R6.tar.gz *** Error code 1 (ignored) ===> Returning to build of xview-lib-3.2.1 ===> Installing for xview-lib-3.2.1 mkdirhier /usr/X11R6 installing in ./lib... installing in lib/libolgx... mkdirhier /usr/X11R6/include/olgx + /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 olgx.h /usr/X11R6/include/olgx There was loads more like it. It would be preferable if this install stuff did not happen from `fetch' with no requirement for root privs. Admittedly my modem connection dropped out half way through, (just think how long a make fetch takes over a dial-up modem ;-) maybe the drop out did something unusual to the make fetch ...
