Then this is the hangup. I *never* intended the change to the MASTER_SITE to continue past the existing version. The idea is that when somebody updates the version, they change the MASTER_SITE back to upstream. It is a provision and, in my opinion, reliable source for the exact distfile being requested. How exactly am I causing "more work"? Changing 1 additional line? If so, then I consider the benefits outweight the cost of changing that one line. > >> It also puts FreeBSD distcache back in the backup role, which is the >> primary discriminator for marking a port broken. > > Not it does not, a cache like our distcache, or those other OS caches > cannot be the upstream. first, I don't concede it's a cache in the purest sense and secondly, as long as that source is available it serves as a reliable host. Maybe it's time for portmgr to research this and publish a list of forbidden upstreams if they find it really is a cache and find they really don't want it.
