The best way to achieve that is by using the environment variable (or a locally customised _resources/port1.0/fetch/archive_sites.tcl), otherwise it won't just be people on the -dev list testing the feature. The only reason there is an archive_sites option visible from portfiles is that the archive fetch code was structured the same as fetch so it could share the code in fetch_common. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
