So what about something like this: mandatory: MANUAL_FETCH_SITE=3D http://www.manual/fetch/... MANUAL_FETCH_DISTFILES=3D file1 \ file2 optional: MANUAL_FETCH_DISTDIR=3D <subdir in ${DISTDIR}> which will be used by bsd.port.mk to generate a nice message that asks the user to visit that site and to save those files to ${DISTDIR}. I could also imagine an optional file that contains further instructions, e.g. pkg-mf-msg Simon --2feizKym29CxAecD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFABJjxCkn+/eutqCoRAgWjAJ9CftIm+SESgGfFOgVOytVSxEM2cgCg9qMz pTnQwwDvTaC5hxFMlHNanns= =Y5La -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2feizKym29CxAecD--
