you have a Makefile without one.
(2) Fix case when user had DISTDIR defined elsewhere and DIST_SUBDIR
is also defined. (Submitted by: max)
(3) Add several popular master sites as variables. For instance,
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB is defined to be a list of X11R6 contrib sites,
which you can set MASTER_SITES to in your Makefile if you just
want ftp.x.org or any of the mirror sites.
There is also a new variable, MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR, to specify which
subdirectory of the master site your tarball is located.
One nice thing this enables the user to do is to define the
nearest mirror site in /etc/make.conf. This is especially useful
for continents without a full FreeBSD master site.
Eventually, we will probably split this into a separate file
(bsd.port.sites.mk?), and add some more sites from all corners of
the world.
Right now, XCONTRIB, GNU, PERL_CPAN, TEX_CTAN, and SUNSITE are
supported.
(4) COMPRESS_MAN command alias is replaced by MAN[1-9LN] variables.
You just say "MAN1=foo.1 bar.1" and the make rules will
automatically compress it for you if necessary. (Idea by: obrien)
(5) New "distclean" target to delete distfile too. (Submitted by:
obrien)
(6) Chained dependency cleaning, can be turned off by NOCLEANDEPENDS.
