Github only uses a single hostname for tarball downloads, so there is no issue with maintaining a list of mirrors. Until recently, github required two requests to get a tarball: one to initiate the tarball creation, the other to download it. I was able to work around this in one of my ports, but the hack is no longer needed. --=20 Shaun Amott // PGP: 0x6B387A9A "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." - Ralph Waldo Emerson --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk5qMEEACgkQkmhdCGs4epqwtwCfQyqLPp16gbHM/RCHLeWr96xw KnwAn3mWga5g/GJMRRNBL+LEWTPSiYfc =CBzv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh--
