This is what I do: Create a /FreeBSD directory. The contents of that directory are: 2.2.7-cdrom-3 3.0-cdrom-3 3.2-cdrom-4 TK-cdrom-3 2.2.7-cdrom-4 3.0-cdrom-4 3.3-cdrom-4 TK-cdrom-4 2.2.8-cdrom-3 3.1-cdrom-3 TK-9906 TK-cdrom-5 2.2.8-cdrom-4 3.1-cdrom-4 TK-9909 TK-cdrom-6 (Looks like I haven't gotten around to creating 3.4 CDROM symlinks yet). Each CDROM directory contains symlinks to distfiles (created using lndir) on CDROM. My distfiles directory contains symlinks to files within /FreeBSD or archives-? directories (Zip disks). Here's an example of what's in /usr/ports/distfiles: lrwx------ 1 root wheel 30 Feb 29 01:45 tcpshow.1 -> /FreeBSD/3.2-cdrom-4/tcpshow.1 lrwx------ 1 root wheel 30 Feb 29 01:45 tcpshow.c -> /FreeBSD/3.2-cdrom-4/tcpshow.c In /FreeBSD/3.2/cdrom-4 we see the following: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 Jun 27 1999 /FreeBSD/3.2-cdrom-4/tcpshow. 1 -> /cdrom/distfiles/tcpshow.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 Jun 27 1999 /FreeBSD/3.2-cdrom-4/tcpshow. c -> /cdrom/distfiles/tcpshow.c In the above example I know that when building tcpshow, make will complain that it cannot find tcpshow.c: >> /usr/ports/distfiles//tcpshow.c is a broken symlink. >> Perhaps a filesystem (most likely a CD) isn't mounted? >> Please correct this problem and try again. I ls -l /usr/ports/distfiles/tcpshow.c and it will tell me which CDROM it's on. I mount the CDROM and build the package. If a link doesn't exist, FreeBSD will fetch the distfile. When I'm done, I unmount the CDROM and put it back on the shelf.
