Hi,

I need advice on how to handle a port that takes distfiles either 
from the net or (eg for an paid version) from a CD-ROM or other 
path.


An existing example is the (Linux) StarOffice 5.2 port

    ports/editors/staroffice52


It allows to fetch a basic version from the net, or the extended 
version from the StarOffice 5.2 CD-ROM.

Here the choice between both versions is done by giving 

    -D WITH_CDROM 

as argument to make and setting

    CD_MOUNTPT

to the distribution media path (eg /cdrom).


Is this a blessed way to handle the situation?


If yes, I would like to apply it to the Quake III Arena port I 
submitted not long ago to finally get it in the ports collection. :)


Regards,
Marc
