Max nailed my devils advocate position :) I'm happy to go for this -- a number of my current port changes simply revolve around the fact that MASTER_SITE_GNOME has (finally) caught up with reality on a bunch of ports, and should therefore be added back in. > Also a good idea would be extending bsd.gnome.mk in the case when > $DIST_SUBDIR=="gnome" to check for distfile both in $DISTDIR and > $DISTDIR/gnome and print a warning that the user should move the > distfile into $DISTDIR/gnome. Or even move it automagically?

So, now that a few heads have been poked, how about: (1) anything that has MASTER_SITE_GNOME in the MASTER_SITES will be migrated to the "gnome1/" distfiles subdirectory on next update, or just prior to the freeze for 4.6-RELEASE, whichever comes first. (2) anything that uses MASTER_SITE_GNOME and has a bzip2 tarball available will be migrated to bzip2 on the next update, or just prior to the freeze for 4.6-RELEASE, whichever comes first. (3) any and all ports that make up gnome-2 (soon to be committed), will have their distfiles placed in the gnome2/ subdirectory. Better? -aDe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
