* It seemed that distfiles is filled now with a flat bunch of tar.gz * balls plus a ports-like tree. I'm not sure if this is still a mess * with me here due to mirroring and suping or what mighht be the cause. That's the new variable DIST_SUBDIR at work. :) When this is set, the distfiles for that port is put into that subdirectory of /usr/ports/distfiles. It will also look into the same subdirectory of ftp.freebsd.org's backup distfiles dir. This is for ports that have many distfiles or have distfiles that have a very generic name (`Makefile', etc.). It shouldn't increase the size of your port tree, unless I forget to delete something from freefall's /usr/ports/distfiles. Let me know if you find duplicates. Satoshi
