Although I went another way in the end, I thought it was worth pointing out that DISTFILES+= did not work as I expected it would. Instead of adding the file to the list, it replaced the value of DISTFILES. The workaround would have been to do: .if defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING) DISTFILES= ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} maildir.patch.gz ... (along with some master site grouping gymnastics, etc). hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
