Makefile has: GS_FONTS_STD= ghostscript-fonts-std-4.01.tar.gz pre-install: (cd ${PREFIX}/share/ghostscript ; \ tar -xzf ${DISTDIR}/${GS_FONTS_STD}) I only have ghostscript-fonts-std-4.0.tar.gz & its -rw------- in there, I'll fetch 4.0.1 next, but its big ... PS WIBNI: ideally for those of us with slow net access, ports/ stuff should use for instance 4.0 & then 4.0 + 4.0-4.1.diff, to reduce upgrade fetch traffic, but I don't know in the specific case of ghostscript if a diff was available (after all I'm not maintainer :-) However if ports maintainers could use diffs where available, rather than pointing at new mega dists, it could help, (no complaint, just a WIBNI (Wouldn't It Be Nice If ...) :-) Julian -- Julian H.
