<p>Don't let your port clutter <tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt>. If
your port requires a lot of files (including patchfiles) to be
fetched, or contains a file that has a name that might conflict
with other ports (e.g., `Makefile'), set
<tt>&dollar;{DIST_SUBDIR}</tt> to the name of the port
(<tt>&dollar;{PKGNAME}</tt> without the version part should work
fine). This will change <tt>&dollar;{DISTDIR}</tt> from the
default <tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt> to
<tt>/usr/ports/distfiles/&dollar;{DIST_SUBDIR}</tt>, and in
effect puts everything that is required for your port into that
subdirectory.
<p>It will also look at the subdirectory with the same name on the
backup master site at <tt>ftp.freebsd.org</tt>. (Setting
<tt>&dollar;{DISTDIR}</tt> explicitly in your Makefile will not
accomplish this, so please use <tt>&dollar;{DIST_SUBDIR}</tt>.)
<p>Note this does not affect the <tt>&dollar;{MASTER_SITES}</tt>
you define in your Makefile.
