I've noticed a few ports we've had to nuke out of the tree due to MASTER_SITE locations that have gone stale.. Just for the record, I'd prefer to "adopt" such ports into ftp://freefall.cdorm.com/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS rather than simply disable them entirely. The whole MASTER_SITE thing was really just a way of keeping a pointer back to some canonical location for the further edification of the user/porter who might want to track later versions, but if something's orphaned entirely then we should take it rather than letting it die. We're still not stuck with it in the CVS tree, and gzip'd binaries are not such significant overhead. LOCAL_PORTS is now owned by group ports, so you guys can stick your tarballs in here as necessary. Jordan
