We already have such a construct: IGNOREFILES, (See ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, or http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-checksum.html .) Its use is discouraged because of security concerns. It would _not_ be wise to ignore checksums in the case of the texinfo sources -- instead, the maintainer can simply place copies of the unversioned sources in a separate, fully-versioned subdirectory on his mirror (e.g., ${PORTVERSION} rather than ${PORTVERSION:E}), so that they would be available there after they had been supplanted by newer versions on the upstream mirrors. The versioned sources could reside in an unversioned or partly-versioned subdirectory, to avoid unnecessary copies. The maintainer probably knows how to do this; it is described at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#PORTING-MASTER-SITES-N b. _______________________________________________ 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"
