Date: 25 Mar 1999 01:58:50 +0100 Message-ID: <7dc1oa$fak$1@mips.rhein-neckar.de> To: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm currently trying to figure out which kind of distfile is the lesser evil for a particular port: - Getting the distfile from the comp.sources.misc archives. This is ugly, since the actual part01.{Z,gz} differs from archive to archive (-> no MD5 checksum). Also, should shar archives be extracted with gunshar (-> dependency) or piped straight into sh? - A nice tarball is available from the distfiles area of ftp.{net,open}bsd.org (as well as ftp.debian.org and mirrors). However, these aren't original archive sites. - MASTER_SITE_LOCAL -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de LinuxTag '99 - 26./27.
