Hi everybody,
I recently wanted to install some gnome stuff from ports. In order to
boost the download speed, I did something like this:
make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp1.ro.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/
as documented in the Handbook. However, many gnome packages seem to have
DIST_SUBDIR in their Makefile, but MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE doesn't care. This
makes installing ports (with many dependencies) from known non-default
sources very hard.
I used to do something similar to this by setting it in /etc/make.conf.
The only downside is if DIST_SUBDIR is not set you get paths that don't
look pretty, e.g.:
ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles//some_distfile.tgz
Instead, I added something to my /etc/make.conf similar to:
.if defined(DIST_SUBDIR)
DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=${DIST_SUBDIR}/
.else
DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=
.endif
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE}
IMO it would be a lot more intuitive if the ports infrastructure did
exactly this for the user.

Perhaps there should be two variables:
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE and MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE_ALL.

You just need to set MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE in /etc/make.conf or
ports.conf like:
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp1.ro.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
The Handbook should be updated.
The following patch addresses this problem. As a side-effect, if somebody
does not have distfiles structured as on a FreeBSD mirror (a rare case I
would say) he will have to find a workaround.
IMO this patch is not a good idea because it would prevent someone from
building a more interesting distfile mirror.
