(catching up on old mail....) * doesn't this problem exist? there is already the potential * for a name clash between the freebsd package name and the name of the * distribution on the original site (though i assume this tends to be avoided * during the original port). seems like you'd need to add something more * descriptive to the name (e.g. xv-3.10a.freebsd-pkg1.1.tgz :-) to avoid * it. This is not a problem, the original distribution goes to /usr/ports/distfiles and the package goes to a subdirectory of /usr/ports/packages. And in general, if you have one (getting it with ftp), you don't need the other. :) Satoshi
