Copy the files to /usr/ports/distfiles/xc/ Normally one would copy the files to /usr/ports/distfiles/ but we're talking about XFree86 which uses its own subdirectory: % cd /home/ports/distfiles/xc % ls -lt total 30593 -rw-r--r-- 1 dkelly wheel 178472 Jan 7 10:59 3.3.3-3.3.3.1.diff.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 dkelly wheel 16596763 Nov 20 07:55 X333src-1.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 dkelly wheel 14501435 Nov 16 20:35 X333src-2.tgz -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkelly wheel 16947 May 25 1998 Wraphelp.c % If you check /usr/ports/x11/XFree86/Makefile you'll see the line: DIST_SUBDIR= xc the above is what causes the extra subdirectory in distfiles. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
