* I have a port (two actually) that needs to collect a couple * different distfiles from different directories on the same ftp * server. Is there a preferred way of doing this? Just list both directories as separate MASTER_SITES. It will try both. I know it doesn't sound very smart but I can't think of a clean way to fix it in bsd.port.mk. * Somewhat related, if the authoratative source for a set of files * does not offer them in any archived format, is there a preferred * way of dealing with this? You mean you need to fetch them one by one? Well, that depends on a couple other factors (number of files, whether they are using wu-ftpd, etc.).... Satoshi
