Hi everybody, I recently wanted to install some gnome stuff from ports. In order to boost the download speed, I did something like this:
make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp1.ro.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/ as documented in the Handbook. However, many gnome packages seem to have DIST_SUBDIR in their Makefile, but MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE doesn't care. This makes installing ports (with many dependencies) from known non-default sources very hard. The following patch addresses this problem. As a side-effect, if somebody does not have distfiles structured as on a FreeBSD mirror (a rare case I would say) he will have to find a workaround. --- bsd.port.mk.orig 2008-01-23 13:01:18.000000000 +0200 +++ bsd.port.mk 2008-01-23 13:01:45.000000000 +0200 @@ -2578,11 +2578,11 @@ # If the user has MASTER_SITE_FREEBSD set, go to the FreeBSD repository # for everything, but don't search it twice by appending it to the end. .if defined(MASTER_SITE_FREEBSD) -_MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE:= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP} +_MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE:= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ _MASTER_SITE_BACKUP:= # empty .else -_MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE= ${MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE} -_MASTER_SITE_BACKUP= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP} +_MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE= ${MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ +_MASTER_SITE_BACKUP= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ .endif # Search CDROM first if mounted, symlink instead of copy if _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
