Thank you.

I tried - but failed again.

When setting those variables to:

NOFETCHFILES=           ${DISTFILES}

or

RESTRICTED_FILES=       ${DISTFILES}

and having
.if !exists(${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX})
IGNORE= \n
IGNORE+= Due to download restrictions please download the source
IGNORE+= tarball ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} manually
IGNORE+= and place the it in ${DISTDIR} and start again.
IGNORE+= \n
.endif

Somehow I expect that setting those "RESTRICTED" or "NOFETCHFILES"
variables will make the script automatically not fetching anything - but
whenever I start the build via "make all", the first step is that the
DISTFILES are getting fetched - or tried to get fetched. This is what I
need to avaoid completely.
