>Description:
pkgling give bad advice if you make ftp://sunsite.unc.edu your MASTER_SITE
>How-To-Repeat:
In package Makefile:
MASTER_SITES= ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/demos/
run pkglint
pkglint will report: WARN: how about using ${MASTER_SITE_SUNSITE}
with "MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=X11/demos", instead of
"ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/demos/?
And if you take it's avdvise and then do a make, the make will fail
complaining that:
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR is deprecated and must be replaced with MASTER_SITES
>Fix:
Do use sugest using MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR
