Makefile.REL=7.1-RELEASE.diff
Makefile.REL=6.4-RELEASE.diff@ -> Makefile.REL=7.1-RELEASE.diff
it might apply to more backward, I havent checked.
Not needed for 7.2-RELEASE as label dofetch was removed.

Hi Florent Thoumie <flz@@@FreeBSD.org>
I thought I'd mail you a private copy of this
http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/ports/gen/astro/google-earth/Makefile.REL=ALL.diff
before I do a send-pr,
to see if you can come up with a solution,
in case you dont want to simply erase your do-fetch: rule ?

Cheers,
Julian jhs@@@berklix.com

Patch out this too simplistic 'do-fetch' that
grossly forces every make fetch to spend Hours slowly fetching 20M
across the Atlantic from Google USA, even when the fetching host
has multiple copies adjacent on same disk, eg
	/pub/FreeBSD/dists/6.4-RELEASE/GoogleEarthLinux-4.3.7284.3916.bin
	/pub/FreeBSD/dists/7.1-RELEASE/GoogleEarthLinux-4.3.7284.3916.bin
	/pub/FreeBSD/dists/current/GoogleEarthLinux-4.3.7284.3916.bin
Normal ports have no problem fast fetching a local copy via make.conf 
	http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src/jhs/etc/
with sample extract eg::
	MASTER_SORT_REGEX?=	^file: ^ftp://ftp\.FreeBSD\.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ://[^/]*\.de/ ://[^/]*\.de\.
	FTP_HOST=ftp

Hi Julian,

First, I'm not astro/google-earth maintainer anymore so I cc'ed nox@.

I'm not sure how/why it breaks but I had to introduce this rule
because distfiles have to be versioned. I can't find the thread where
it was discussed but you can't simply remove it.
