But since there is a Git-Repo: isn't there a management tool like GitLab, which could provides tarballs?

The ports ship a distinfo file, which contains size and checksum of the distfiles for the port. This is not possible with a pure git. But since this is open source: in the worst case we can create the distfiles by ourself and host them. I don't see this as stopper. Greetings, Torsten
