It is not avaiable via their website currently. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Is there a method by which I can access the source code of ports through FreeBSD? I am currently running FreeBSD 8.0 as a Guest OS on VMware player (host is win 7). > Thanks! > Dave Hi Dave, You can download the source code tarball here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/posixtest/files/ Whenever you want to fetch the distfile for a FreeBSD port, just cd into the port directory and type: make fetch e.g.: cd /usr/ports/misc/posixtestsuite && make fetch Most ports will fetch their distfile into /usr/ports/distfiles (or a subdir of that), except for certain tools that require a manual download.
