Distfile Issues

+ +

As GNOME 2.0 gains developer momentum, things must be done to sort + out the new GNOME 2.0 distfiles from the GNOME 1.0 distfiles, as well + as do our part to keep the distfiles directory clean. To do + this, GNOME 1.0 ports that download their distfiles from + ${MASTER_SITE_GNOME} must add the following to their + Makfile:

+ + 
+DIST_SUBDIR=    gnome
+
+ +

GNOME 2.0 ports that download their distfiles from + ${MASTER_SITE_GNOME} must include the following in their + Makfile:

+ + 
+DIST_SUBDIR=    gnome2
+
+ +

Some GNOME distfiles come in both tar gzip as well as tar bzip2 + format. To save time when downloading distfiles over slow links, + you should use the bzip2 distfiles whenever possible. To do this, + add the following to your port's Makefile:

+ + 
+USE_BZIP2=  yes
+
+ + + +

If you still need help with your port, have a look at some of the existing ports for examples. The freebsd-gnome mailing
