My port has it's source hosted on sourceforge.net. That site has function that shows the count of times the port source file has been downloaded along with the country and operating system type of the computer requesting the download. 99.9% of the time the operating system is "unknown". I can only assume those are downloads originating from FreeBSD systems using the "make install" method. I believe the port system uses a fetch/ftp call to download the ports source file from where ever it's hosted at. Is there some fetch/ftp option to tag the ports system download request with the operating system the request is coming from?
