You should not do it that way. First, when building on the cluster, you only have network access during the *fetch targets. Second, you should fetch all the different submodules by URL, and move them at the right place in post-extract, or something, see sysutils/consul for example. I know, it's aweful, but it's how it should be done for now. -- Mathieu Arnold _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
