I assume that you mean before the pkg_add of python23.  Does pkg_add
create the symlink like building from source does?

Hmm.  I couldn't find any notes about this other than the example in
pkgsrc/doc in the file Makefile-example which only describes where to
put the option.  Looking at how it is used it still doesn't seem to
describe this situation.

Basically what happened was that there was an incorrect .tgz in the
distribution directory which was fixed just after I updated the package.
 I immediately did a new make makesum and committed the new distinfo. 
However, it looks like it wasn't fast enough.  Some people had already
downloaded the incorrect file.  Those are the ones that need to delete
the .tgz and refetch.

I can't see how DIST_SUBDIR would fix that.  Really I should have made a
new release but I thought I was fast enough.  Perhaps I still should.  A
3.6.1 release, even with no changes, would fix the bulk builds.
