Jan Stary <hans@stare.cz> writes: > https://marc.info/?l=freebsd-ports&r=1&w=2 This is a very cool project. I will admit, my original question was motivated mostly by my backward desire to "have" the data that I intend to work with on my own drive (ideally in convenient format). I won't attempt to justify that preference. I do agree with Kurt that ideally, archives should be complete. I acknowledge that this is a modern sensibility. Easily mirroring archives is worth making some noise about, I think. However, as Polarian pointed out, just scraping most archive sites is pretty straightforward. Rand's procedure has worked well enough for me. I meant to thank you for that ages ago, Rand. So I'll do so now: Thanks!
