I've been beating my head against the wall over this one.. Working on the (broken - distfiles survey) lang/scm port, the distfiles are now utilise two different packaging methods (a couple of .zip's and a .tar.gz) Similarly, there's a minor issue with graphics/wmicons and x11-wm/windowmaker, where both require WindowMaker-extra-0.1. x11-wm/windowmaker uses the bzip2 version (since the the actual windowmaker tarball is also bzip2'd), but graphics/wmicons uses the gzip'd version (since all the other distfiles associated with the port are also gzip'd). In Windowmaker's case, this results in two distfiles, where only one is really needed: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 238844 Apr 1 1999 WindowMaker-extra-0.1.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 238018 Apr 1 1999 WindowMaker-extra-0.1.tar.gz and we have to hope that they never move entirely to bzip2, otherwise graphics/wmicons will break. In the case of lang/scm, I'm stuck :) Any ideas on how to get around this sensibly? -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
