I want to inspect the contents of multiple distfiles. Is there a way to use the ports system to extract and perhaps patch a distfile without first installing its dependencies?
I've attempted to pass BUILD_DEPENDS='' LIB_DEPENDS='' WANTLIB='' but that hasn't worked. Before I write my own scripting to parse distfile information from the Makefile and then extract I wanted to know if this mechanism already existed within the ports system. Thanks for any feedback.
