Ok. I suspected as much, but hoped I might be wrong. It'd be nice if
there was a variable you could set to avoid such downloads, like:
.if !defined(WITHOUT_GPL_SOURCE_FOR_BINARIES)
SRC_DISTFILES= xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.1.src.rpm
.endif
but I've not been following enough lists long enough to know if such a
thing would be acceptable.
Odd that it only seems to happen if you do 'portupgrade -F' ahead of
time, but not if you're just upgrading with 'portupgrade -pr'.
