If a port distfile is unavailable, what should the maintainer do assuming they have local copies of the distfile and the owner of the MASTER_SITE is not able to be contacted? What is the policy for giving something a home on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL? If a port has no restrictions on the distribution of the distfile, then when should / does it get stored on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL or other FreeBSD mirrors? If the author of a port has poor connectivity or no available or reliable hosting space for the distfile, is there a policy to have the port use MASTER_SITE_LOCAL for the MASTER_SITE?
