+== Fetching a file that is not in a tarball == #fetchnotarball
+
+Usually a port will be installing a package from a proper distribution source (e.g. tarball, zip, etc.). Following [http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.devel/21460 advice] given on the macports-dev mailing list,
+
+  If you eliminate the extract phase, there will be nothing in the workpath. You could technically install straight from distpath to destroot, but that's a little confusing. This would probably be better:
+
+{{{
+distfiles     name_of_script
+use_configure no
+
+extract {
+  file copy ${distpath}/${distfiles} ${workpath}
+}
+build   {}
+…
 }}}
 
 == Using glob results in "Cannot stat: <list of files>" == #glob
