There is only one set in the tree that don't use a workaround of some sort (the NX stuff). A quick hacked up grepping indicates that the following packages use the trick of having the user rename the file after downloading it. dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin dev-java/ibm-jre-bin dev-java/jdbc2-oracle dev-java/jdbc3-oracle sci-chemistry/platon There might be others, but I'm not looking too hard at the moment. And I know I've used it in the past when upstream has been unreliable in naming distfiles (eg they did thank me and add the major version portion to the filename, but not the minor version, and still changed the download once a week). -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
