Actually, you have been; hope that's OK! (:-)

That's approximately what I've been doing, albeit a lot more simply.
Here is the Perl calling code I've been using:
$flags = "BATCH=1 NO_BUILD=1 NO_DEPENDS=1 NO_INSTALL=1";
$parms = "DISTDIR=$distdir WRKDIR=$wrkdir";
$tasks = 'fetch checksum extract';
system("cd $mdir; make $flags $parms $tasks");
I put in the NO_BUILD and NO_INSTALL flags in an effort to kill off
the building and installation of antecedant packages. It also looks
like I don't need to specify fetch and checksum if I specify extract.
OTOH, I _am_ running this unattended, so BATCH is still required:
$flags = 'BATCH=1 NO_DEPENDS=1'
$parms = "DISTDIR=$distdir WRKDIR=$wrkdir";
$tasks = 'extract';
system("cd $mdir; make $flags $parms $tasks");
I still have a question, however, wrt dependencies. In my current
way of doing things, the extract for a package stops if make thinks
there are dependencies to resolve. Can you suggest a good way to
get make to extract anyway?
