* How about two separate directories (/usr/ports, /usr/distfiles)?
Well, where the user hold the distfiles on her system is irrelevant.
* This requires only one change in bsd.ports.mk (${DISTDIR} or what
* was that variable again?) and you could get ports.tar.gz on any
* mirror, regardless of its configuration.
It's MASTER_SITES that is adding that directory on wcarchive as the
fallback as the fallback when the port's specific one doesn't work.
Since the newer ports don't work without the new bsd.port.mk anyway,
if we change it now (i.e., before 2.0.6? goes out), it wouldn't be too
late. What do people think?
