MacPorts only handles a single type of distfile during extract; you'll have to extract any other types of files manually with `system` (and set `extract.only` to list only those files with the "default" compression type).


I wonder how difficult it would be to add an extract block to a Portfile and use "command_exec extract" for each distfile changing things like use_zip along the way?

I seem to recall trying this in the past without success.
