* I've contemplated this too. This is actually fairly easy - we just * need to stop populating the distfiles directory on wcarchive and stick * the files someplace else. After all, it's really just the master ftp * site you want to be able to do ``get ports.tar.gz'' with, right? Um, but we have ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles as a backup to all the MASTER_SITES in bsd.port.mk we have been shipping. We can't stop populating it. Why don't we change it to a symbolic link? Then "get ports.tar.gz" will only pick it up as a symlink.... Satoshi
