Hi Eugene/Others, As a pleasant surprise, I have a port that now works : - ) It has a working Makefile (embedded PLIST) / pkg-descr / distinfo, and everything works, at least as far I can make out. FreeBSD ports system is superbly crafted : - ) There is a hiccup, which I am fairly certain a few others would have experienced too. So I look to resolve the situation of MASTER_SITES, which it appears is mandatory. My Makefile works by mapping MASTER_SITES to a local path : MASTER_SITES= file:///root/mkdesktop/ Of course, this would have to change for general distribution. Since I have no access to any FTP/HTTP server where I can upload mkdesktop-1.0.tar.gz (~6 Kb), the main tarball used for distfile. Is there some way I could use the FTP server of FreeBSD to host this file ? Or else the global distcache ? If yes, what would my the correct representation of my MASTER_SITES variable ?
