I'm trying to port fvwm2 and so far there have been 3 packages that for whatever reason wouldn't download from the sites in master_sites list in the Portfiles. I've downloaded the packages myself, put them on my own server, added my site to each Portfile's master_site list, then rerun port fvwm2. Is there a "global" master_sites setting somewhere that I can add my url to? So I don't have to edit each Portfile? It looks like they all have this line in the master_sites list:
macports:lt:lt
what does it mean? can i use it for my purposes somehow?
i've searched the archives and couldn't find an answer....
Since you have to get the file anyway, I think you could have just dropped the files you downloaded into the distfiles directory and not have to play with master_sites (if you prefer this option). There is also a concern about checksums though. But your approach is also interesting. _________________________________________________________________ Peek-a-boo FREE Tricks & Treats for You! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us
