Hello,
recently I wanted to compile pam_ldap (pkgsrc/security/pam-ldap), so I
cd' and did make. Oops, the checksum was bad and it didn't want to compile.
I found out that MASTER_SITES points to developer site, but the
developer doesn't maintain a package that could compile with NetBSD 1.5.2.
In order to download the "compilable" version, I had to hash
MASTER_SITES in Makefile, so that the software downloaded the old
version from ftp.netbsd.org to my pleasure.
The question: is there any more systematic way to force Make use
ftp.netbsd.org instead of MASTER_SITES source?
Thanks,
Ivan Dolezal
