Yes.  Ran into this when testing RELNOTESng.  Grrrr.

Another way to do this is to fetch the files into /usr/ports/distfiles
and then do the release (this works for all distfiles, not just the
unfetchable ones).  Part of the release process copies /usr/ports/
distfiles to ${CHROOT}/usr/ports/distfiles.  In other words:

        # Do this once
        cd /usr/ports/distfiles
        GOTO=ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirros/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles
        fetch ${GOTO}/jade_1.2.1-13.diff.gz
        fetch ${GOTO}/pdf_sec.ps
        
        # make release works normally

Cheers,

Bruce.
