Ref. Satoshi's request for comments, & this from Paul Richards <paul@lambda.demon.co.uk>: > Another flag GETALL perhaps could be added to those ports that can be > fetched without compiling some other port first. I guess a lot of us connect via expensive dial up ? & sometimes we need to be connected to do something interactive, but we can see the modem lights not blinking much, & know we're wasting expensive bandwidth .... ? Then would be a good time to have some kind of "cd /usr/ports ; make fetch_all_distfiles_i_don't_have_yet" type of functionality. Julian S.
