X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 20:32:22 -0000 I'm in the process of seting up to build a fair number of machines behind a very restrictive firewall (and besides that the outbound link is very slow). What I have in mind is setting up a machine using mirror software to create a local mirror of the FreeBSD site, including the distfiles for the ports tree. Is thee a way to get the ports build system to look for distfiles on this local mirror? -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
