I ALWAYS end up having to ftp to wcarchive as anon and getting tons of stuff I don't want just so I can look at the single file I want.. don't we keep the packages sources here SOMEWHERE? and couldn't there be some sort of F*cking index on this system? (or even a /packages or /ports-unpacked symlink).. ports is pretty much useless most of the time because they never ftp the stuff over correctly especially if you're on thud or freefall. can't we keep these things unpacked and populated somewhere? julian (just wasted another 30 minutes doing 'find' on freefall AGAIN geeze you'd think I'd have learned by now that there is nothing useful here)
