Comment:
Agreed, that is weird. Weirder that it unzips to a temporary directory in
/tmp. Ports should not write temporary files outside of ${workpath}.
Better solution to the fetch issue is for ncarg to simply list triangle's
distfile, just like the triangle port does. Usually in those cases it's
best for the two ports to share a dist_subdir, so that users and the
mirror servers don't need to download the same file twice. However, just
changing, say, ncarg's dist_subdir without changing the version will cause
that exact problem too, and there doesn't seem to be a newer stable
version of ncarg to which the port could be updated at the same time.
Triangle's distfile is pretty small, only 150K, and hasn't changed since
2005, so it's probably fine to have a second copy of it in ncarg's
dist_subdir.
