(opening a can of squiggly worms here) It's often bothered me that the tools don't know about the archive (which g= oes back a long ways and has a very consistent and structured layout). So in authoring the latest tool (bsdconfig(8)), I made sure that the archiv= e is checked (grep archive media/ftp.subr from SVN r247280). Don't know if that was the right move, but here @ Vicor, we've been [ab]usi= ng the archive for .. over a decade? (looks at julian to chime in if he use= d the archive before I got here). But I for one would like to see the archive to maintain its steady growth a= nd be available. Of course, the change to look in the archive seemed (to me at least) to be = a pretty innocuous one (if the archive goes away, they're back to where the= y started... no working URLs). Just wondering why for so long the archive has never been checked by tools = when (imho) that only serves to break old releases sooner with respect to r= emote-fetch of a binary release file (e.g., pkg or dist, etc.). --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
