Hi folks,

I'm trying to handle the case where a port relies on two distfiles in
separate subdirectories of the distribution server. The port in question
is mail/exim. Currently, the relevant bit of the Makefile looks like
this:

DISTNAME=	exim-2.053
CATEGORIES=	mail
MASTER_SITES=	ftp://ftp.quite.net/pub/exim/Testing/ \
		http://www.exim.org/ftp/Testing/ \
		ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/Testing/ \
		ftp://ftp.is.co.za/networking/mail/transport/exim/Testing/
DISTFILES=	exim-testing-2.053.tar.gz exim-texinfo-2.00.tar.gz

The problem is that the exim-texinfo distfile is not in the Testing
subdirectory, but in its parent.

So far, I've had the suggestion that I create duplicates of the
MASTER_SITES without Testing/. This works, but it's a little messy,
given the expected failures.

I'd like to know if there's anything more graceful that I can do,
bearing in mind that this affects the way the distfiles are stored in
the FreeBSD distfiles/ mirror subdirectories and that many people point
to these with MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE.

Thanks,
Sheldon.
