Why doesn't this work:
.if !exists(${DISTDIR}/vp-bro-0.4-alpha${EXTRACT_SUFX})
IGNORE='Please contact Vern Paxson <vern@ee.lbl.gov> to obtain the obtain the Bro source. Put it in ${DISTDIR} as vp-bro-0.4-alpha${EXTRACT_SUFX} and run make again'
.endif
Reguardless of the existance (as tested by `ls(1)') the IGNORE is always
active. What I want is a way to not "exit 1" when the distfile is
missing to allow unattended ``cd /usr/ports ; make fetch''.
I've also tried redefining the "do-*" targets to turn them into NOPs, but
that didn't work either. Probably do to why ever the above doesn't work.
