dfdisk is an utility that adds extra functionality to pkgsrc, allowing it
|
|
to fetch distfiles from multiple locations. It currently supports the
|
|
following methods:
|
|
|
|
CD-ROM The program manages a CD database where every disk is matched to
|
|
a series of distfiles. Whenever a distfile is requested, the
|
|
program will check if it is known by the database and ask the
|
|
user to place the needed disk in the drive.
|
|
|
|
Network If a file is not found in the described database, the program
|
|
fallbacks to the network, fetching the file from there (the usual
|
|
method in pkgsrc).
|
|
|
|
Support for more methods may be added in the future, like for DVD-ROM.
