For months I've been getting a lot of fetch failures in ports that I couldn't reproduce outside of them. It appears it is caused by the default "-A" passed to fetch. For example, /usr/ports/emulators/javatari will fail with "make fetch" but it will succeed with with "make fetch FETCH_ARGS=-Fpr" I'd like to understand why "-A" is the default. Clearly many distfiles could be retrieved that aren't, so I'd like to know what -A is saving us from, and why that would be worse than the current situation? Thanks, John
