I'm not sure about archive sites (where archivefetch downloads from?) but I often see my ports attempt to download things from MacPorts mirrors rather than trying the master_sites first. > I am talking about > _resources/port1.0/variant_descriptions.conf > _resources/port1.0/livecheck/ > > Please just look into the files before making assumptions. Ok, so those seem to be additional mechanisms to define variants and livecheck settings for a whole port tree. Can the settings from those files be overridden by a PortGroup? > I see this as inconsistency if port groups were looked up differently > than the rest of _resources. > > Apparently not even the current lookup order is documented clear enough, > so I would not want to introduce more complexity. It seems to me that it is above all confusing that _resources are looked up differently than the rest of a ports tree.
