(Maybe we should move this to ports....) * Well, maybe that was misleading: what I *want* to be able to do is to load * up /usr/ports/distfiles on one box, build a bunch of ports over in * /usr/local/src/ports/*/*, and then walk /usr/local/src/ports around to a lot * of boxes and do "make install" or whatever and have things installed without * the ridiculous apparent need for the "make install" target to see * /usr/ports/distfiles and try to checksum the files! If you really want to do this, "make NO_EXTRACT=yes reinstall" should let you do what you want. (There is no NO_CHECKSUM variable now, it is piggybacked on NO_EXTRACT...I can add it if people want it though.) What's wrong with building packages though? It takes much less disk space on the target machine. If the port has NO_PACKAGE set, you can override it with a "FORCE_PACKAGE=yes" from the command line -- even if we can't build and distribute packages, the licensing problems won't stop you from copying the files over as you wish.
