* From: Will Andrews <andrews@TECHNOLOGIST.COM>
* If the distfile contains no tarball, the porter can define NO_TAR to mean the
* file to which the uncompressed distfile should be redirected.
* EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS in particular would be redefined as: "> ${NO_TAR}".
*
* For example, if my port's distfile goes by the name abc-1.24.bz2, I would set
*
* NO_TAR= abc-1.24
*
* The result: bsd.port.mk redefines EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS as above, makes the
* ${WRKSRC} to equal ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME} (i.e., makes that dir in addition to
* the ${WRKDIR}.), and extracts the file to ${WRKSRC}/${NO_TAR}.
I think this is overkill. Just define DISTFILES and USE_BZIP as usual
and set EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS to "> [whatever]" by yourself.
bsd.port.mk is getting complicated enough at it is. ;)
