Friends - I'm working on a cleanup of the xemacs PortFile - splitting it into xemacs and xemacs-beta, and ensuring that without the sumo option you still get the base packages. In doing this I'm discovering that I need to extract different distribution files into different places in the build tree. Is there a standard way to do this, or can somebody point me to another port that does something similar?

Peace - John

Hi John, I don't know the answer to your question, but I've been helping out on that package, so if you could email me the new Portfile before committing it to check it out, I would appreciate it. BTW, I think we have a standard of naming beta ports with -devel and not -beta, as I can't find a single Port with the string beta in it.
