Okay, I admit that I removed foreign languages directories from my port
tree and I will drop some other ports to make major distfiles located on
one cdrom! And you may have distfiles that are not used anymore, are
you? I made a little script, which combined with my distfiles-list
target, can remove unused distfiles.

What does your script do more than (cd /usr/ports; make fetch) when the
load of the machine is low? Do I miss something?

Thanks, unfortunately, this tool does not help in scripts ;-)
Nevertheless, it can be useful for me!

I agree when the purpose is to actually get the distfile not when you
just want the list of the files. Am I wrong?

DDS4 ?
