I did that already, thanks.
The trick was defining DISTFILES_amd64, DISTFILES_i386 and SRC_DISTFILES.
Now the problem is that our RPM support doesn't expect to find files
installed in usr/bin and share.
At some point I decided it was better to use the .tar.xz distribution
but that uses version of glibc and libpng that don't match either of the
centos distributions we carry. So I am back to RPMs.
Can't you just *omit* those, and use those already supplied by FreeBSD?
Maybe those in the linux_base ports, via (run|make)depends?
just a thought. :-)
