--x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I am planning to clean out a lot of the stale cruft from the ports/distfiles directory, keeping only the distfiles associated to recent releases (4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.6.2) as well as the current ports collection. The need for this is that ftp-master is full, and there's not enough room to keep all the package collections and releases online that we need (a full package set takes up about 5GB thesedays). Unfortunately, no lists of distfiles wew kept at the time of release, but I have reconstructed the list by checking out a copy of the ports tree from the release, and performing a full 'make fetch' against ftp-master's distfile collection to extract the files that were part of the released ports collection. This is expected to save around 3 GB on ftp-master (13GB -> 10GB). If anyone objects to this, or thinks I should preserve distfiles from older releases, please speak up now.
