The following reply was made to PR bin/9064; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Nick Hibma <nick.hibma@jrc.it> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, clkao@CirX.ORG Cc: Subject: Re: bin/9064: [PATCH] propose adding `direct' option in fetch(3) Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 15:33:36 +0200 (MET DST) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=9064 > When `make fetch', we usually add a very nearby site in > MASTER_SITE_BACKUP, and then some of the primary distfile-mirroring > sites. > The problem is that, I'd like those nearby site being fetched > directly, rather than via proxies, while the actually far sites(like > ftp.freebsd.org) go through proxies. Although I can see the use of the functionality, I have the feeling that we are into feature creep here. This functionality belongs in the proxy library, not in fetch, so it is available for all programs, IMHO. Any opinions?
