This is a proposal to replace the do-fetch/checksum/makesum/fetch-list targets with a shell script, eliminating more than 1/2k lines of code. The primary focus is to break down bsd.port.mk into components, in order to make refactoring posssible. As a side effect, time critical operations, such as INDEX builds and port surveys should run a little faster, while distfiles handling operations like fetching and extracting are mostly not affected by make(1) running times. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: A prototype patch and shell script is at <http://people.freebsd.org/~eik/patches/distfiles/>; This patch integrates and obsoletes: - PR 56641: support for SHA1 and other algorithms in distinfo - PR 62271: calculate size of needed distribution files - PR 63933: support for sorting MASTER_SITES by table lookup - PR 64157: new target check-distfiles While I use this script on my machines without further problems, it could benefit from review and widespread testing on different configurations. -Oliver >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
