At one time I thought that I had seen some ports that were set up to go ahead and try to build on bento if the distfile had already been loaded onto it, but I can't find any right now. Can someone point me to an example? Or is this just a case where the meaning of the IGNORE Makevar is overloaded to mean "don't build unless distfile exists" as well as "don't build at all"? mcl
