>Description:
The documentation in Mk/bsd.port.mk says:
# NO_PACKAGE - Port should not be packaged for ftp sites or CDROMs,
# but distfiles can be put on ftp sites and CDROM
And the FreeBSD Porters Handbook says:
6.2.1 NO_PACKAGE
This variable indicates that we may not generate a binary package
of the application. For instance, the license may disallow
binary redistribution, or it may prohibit distribution of
packages created from patched sources.
However, the port's DISTFILES may be freely mirrored on FTP/HTTP.
They may also be distributed on a CD-ROM (or similar media)
unless NO_CDROM is set as well.
but for the ports I checked (audio/aureal-kmod, misc/zoneinfo,
www/srilm) the distfiles are not available on the MASTER_SITE_BACKUP.
