There were _22_! sites. > The net has to be in *VERY* bad shape for you to fail on 21 sites and > finally get the needed file from the 22nd site. By listing sites in Brazil, Costa Rica, Israel, New Zealand, Russia, and South Africa, we made it possible for users there to fetch from within their own country rather than from North America, Japan, or Europe. By setting MASTER_SORT or MASTER_SORT_REGEX in /etc/make.conf, users can cause a particular site to be checked first. Pretend for a moment that you are Russian (break out the earmuffs if you have 'em), check out the old bsd.sites.mk, go into /usr/ports/whatever/p5-Module/ and do: DISTDIR=`pwd` MASTER_SORT=".chg.ru .ru .su .ua" make fetch-list or setenv DISTDIR `pwd` setenv MASTER_SORT ".chg.ru .ru .su .ua" make fetch-list Notice how ftp.chg.ru floated to the top? > If the list was meant more do document possible sites for to list in > /etc/make.conf, they could be re-added as comments. > > Revision Changes Path > 1.85 +5 -16 ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk > > http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk.diff?&r1=1.84&r2=1.85&f=u MASTER_SORT_REGEX is documented in the make.conf(5) man page. MASTER_SORT may be documented somewhere too. -- Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
