In some ports this is currently called DOWNLOAD_URL, but I agree that your suggested name is probably more appropriate. > MANUAL_FETCH_DISTFILES= file1 \ > file2 We could make this optional and make it default to DISTFILES... > optional: > MANUAL_FETCH_DISTDIR= <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}.
