To make things simple, I decided I would use the auto-tar&gzip feature of the ftp.uu.net. This is what I have in the Makefile (relevant only), DISTNAME= slnr MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.uu.net/networking/news/readers/off-line/ The actual directory where the package is stored on ftp.uu.net is networking/news/readers/off-line/slnr/ Looking through bsd.port.mk, this should work. My 2.2-960501-SNAP system still uses ncftp instead of fetch. The problem is that ncftp doesn't seem able to logon to ftp.uu.net when passed a url on the command line. I suspect the reason is the ftp.uu.net insists only outputting it's welcome message at a speed of about 1 line @ second. The question is, then... Is using the auto-tar&gzip feature of ftp.uu.net going to cause problems for fetch? (It doesn't particularly matter for ncftp anyways, since it can't logon). I would've just simply gotten and compiled fetch from the -current sources but fetch seems to require some newer stuff I don't have. -- -- tIM...HOEk Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? NEVER!
