Just to clarify things:
* For all site methods (except local/OVERRIDE_SRCDIR), the steps
through which a package go are:
source -> extract -> patch -> configure -> build -> install
* For the local site method and OVERRIDE_SRCDIR, the steps through
which a package go are:
rsync -> configure -> build -> install
Best regards,
Thomas
