To wit, the distribution archive is encrypted, and you # have to send email agreeing to the license before the author will send # you the decryption password. I've got no idea how to encode that step. You might take the approach that a few other ports have and require the user to manually retrieve the distfile and stick it (unencrypted) in the right place. There are several examples in ports/security, as well as ones like net/socks5 that might help. -steve # Thanx, #
