* Would it be a good idea to run a regular automatic make fetch * on freefall, then when other sites mirror the distfiles directory, * they'd get all the newly incorporated extras too ? One thing, ftp.freebsd.org is wcarchive, not freefall. ;) Of course, freefall is sup.freebsd.org so for people who sup ports-distfiles, we need a new set on freefall. Two, freefall is usually pretty far behind in terms of current-ness, I'm not even sure if we can do a "make fetch" without it blowing up all over the place due to missing operands and such. * Some sites (such as the one I tape dump distfiles from once a week), * don't generally run make fetch, as the mirror host doesnt run FreeBSD, * but A-N-Other-UX-OS. Currently my distfiles/ off tape from that mirror * always seesm to have a lot more missing than just the `LEGAL'-limited * stuff, yet I know they mirror frequently. * * If we did this make fetch, we'd want to avoid distributing kermit etc. Yes, that is another problem. We have a pretty good set of distfiles on thud, I do a "make package" every time a port is upgraded or a new port is added, maybe we can use that. Should I start copying distfiles over to freefall and wcarchive? Satoshi
