A concept that could be implemented cooperatively. Such a distribution service would primarily need disk space and bandwidth - something places that already distribute this software apparently have... So it'd make sense to figure out a way to implement this via existing resources (assuming cooperation). So we come up with a server that suits everyone's needs, enroll all known PGP signatures, keep it all up to date, and get participation from all distribution sites... Should be a piece of cake. ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
