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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
