hey guys, i'm struggling to find out how to do this, for example from
the help page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof
# make
lsof_4.57D.freebsd.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
Attempting to fetch from ftp://lsof.itap.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/.
===> Extracting for lsof-4.57
how do i figure out before typing make what that url is? (the filename
part seems to be under 'distinfo'). for instance i'd like to download
all the necessary tarballs before running 'portupgrade' to make the
actual upgrade quicker.

Run
make fetch
in the directory of each of the ports you want to prefetch.
Alternatively, you can use sysutils/portupgrade which has a command line
switch to fetch only. Alternatively, you can use portmaster which
appears to fetch in the background before building.
