>Description:
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk contains an illegal argument

FETCH_CMD?=             /usr/bin/fetch -A


>How-To-Repeat:
while running FreeBSD 3.x, run make for any port.  When it attempts to fetch it, it will generate the following error message (the URL will of course depend on the port you are trying to install):

>Fix:
in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk change the line:

FETCH_CMD?=             /usr/bin/fetch -A
to:
FETCH_CMD?=             /usr/bin/fetch -a
-A is an illegal argument... needs to be changed to -a

>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/BeroFTPD/.
 fetch: illegal option -- A
 usage: fetch [-DHILMNPRTVablmnpqrstv] [-o outputfile] [-S bytes]
              [-f file -h host [-c dir] | URL]
