I'm not sure if this is still a mess with me here due to mirroring and suping or what mighht be the cause. Anyway, could someone give a short description of how the ports/distfile mechanism now is organized. Could it be that there are double as many/as necessary files now in the distfiles directory? I'm on leave for a business trip today and will probably have time to investigate what happened exactly on my machine after I started the new ports sup (ports-all). --Chris Christoph P. U.
