Is there any way to override the MASTER_SITES (such as on a one-time
basis) without editing Makefile?
I'd like to set something like:
OVERRIDE_MASTER_SITES=ftp://ftp.example.foo/..../distfiles/
Or is there any way to make it always use MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?
I have a few sites that are slow or closing a lot and don't want to edit
Makefile.
Also, it may be nice to allow having multiple local distfile directories.
I am using a system that has three distfile directories that are not
shared, but do have some distfiles I could use. Instead of manually making
symlinks for files, it may be useful to have some pkgsrc setting for
defining a that multiple distfiles directories are available to look in
(but only store in one if downloading).
