Perhaps this is best answered with an example. If we set up a port like
this:
name testport1
version 1.0
master_sites apache
then we are using the apache mirror set, which is defined (in part) like
this:
set portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(apache) {
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/apache/
'port distfiles testport1' then shows us that the distfile will be
downloaded from (among others) this URL:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/apache/testport1/testport1-1.0.tar.gz
Notice that the port's name has been added as a subdir.
If we then change master_sites to:
master_sites freebsd
which is defined like this:
set portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(freebsd) {
http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/ports-distfiles/:nosubdir
}
we then see this from 'port distfiles':
http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/ports-distfiles/testport1-1.0.tar.gz
Which, as the name of the tag suggests, has no added subdir.
