Re-packing the zip archive is not a good idea since you'll have to do it for every new release, you will not notice when the archive receives an silent update (without version bump) and you do not take advantage of the upstream's mirrors. So I'd suggest that you either define the do-extract: target and do all the uncompressing manually or to have the .tar.gz archive extracted by the standard mechanisms and only extract the .zip archive in a custom post-extract: target. Feel free to post your updated Makefile for review, HTH, --=20 Best regards / Viele Gr=FC=DFe, barner@FreeBSD.= org Simon Barner barner@gmx.de --ZPt4rx8FFjLCG7dd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGD47UCkn+/eutqCoRAtiiAJ43kLeQFpaFKKUw4qls83bV6aaQUgCeJQI/ beusSoABplUFTdEU68yZl1Q= =MHTL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZPt4rx8FFjLCG7dd--
