At current moment normaly to put inside Makefile MASTER_SITES=CPAN/../../ or same via subdir. Ideally for me is to bring some magic inside Mk. For example if MASTER_SITES = CPAN let MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR contain CPAN AUTHOR NAME. Example: MASTER_SITES= CPAN MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= CPAN:DDUMONT Inside Mk parse DDUMONT to id/D/DD/DDUMONT and concatenate with MASTER_SITE (like right now). It looks more universal. CPAN: - keyword tell us to use new logic otherwise use old one. Suggestion from experienced comrades are welcome.
