With the sending out results for the "Distfile Survey Checker", we saw that certain ports get marked as unfetchable, while in reality it were files which (for whatever reason) shouldn't have been fetched at all: For example multimedia/pvr250 has one file, hcwPVRP2.sys, which comes on the cdrom from the supplier and has to be copied into /usr/ports/distfiles first. Another example, java/jdk15, requires the files jdk-1_5_0-src-scsl.zip, jdk-1_5_0-bin-scsl.zip and bsd-jdk15-patches-2.tar.bz2 which have to be downloaded manually. If there was a variable, for example NOFETCHFILES a la IGNOREFILES, port survey tools could keep this in mind, and the output of "fetch-all-list" (or "fetch-list") would be more reliable too. Comments, suggestions? -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/
