Hi,
       Where does the port look for the tar.gz file when it gives
a message "file_name.tar.gz not found in the system" ?

What is the path where its looking for the tar and gzipped file.
For example, for porting dvips
I tried putting dvips576.tar.gz in /usr/ports/print/dvips  and its
subdirectories
but still  it had to ftp the file from its ftp site.

thanks
- Nil
