>Description:
The mplayer package downloads its distribution files to a subdirectory
under distfiles named for the version of mplayer. This means that you
get a new, empty subdirectory for every new version, which is fine for
the new version of mplayer itself. However, many versions of mplayer
share the same font files (font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2 and a couple
of others), but because the font files are also put in the separate
subdirectory named for the mplayer version, the pkgsrc system will
download again identical copies of the font files when making a new
version of mplayer.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Move the three font files up out of the subdirectory so that all
versions of mplayer can share them (and any other programs that use
those font files as well, for that matter). Given then that the
only file left in the subdirectory is the mplayer distribution file
itself, that might as well be moved up as well, and the subdirectory
abandoned.
