No, EXTRACT_ONLY actually extracts distfiles. I don't want them to be
extracted, I want them to be copies as-is, since the installed port will
manage it itself, it even requires zips. The only solution I see is to
tar those distfiles and put them on a separate mirror. Is there any
better solution to this? Or maybe someone introduces NO_EXTRACT to
bsd.port.mk :)
