For an in-house hack, I'd probably just use do-extract. For stuff you want to distribute adding code to the makefile to build a distfile from CVS and then distributing that is probalby the way to go. I do this for my work in progress Sun Grid Engine port. See the distfile target: http://perforce.freebsd.org/fileViewer.cgi?FSPC=3D//depot/user/brooks/ports= /sge/Makefile&REV=3D19 The method should be fairly applicable to a do-extract target. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
