Yes, after 2 months away, I am back :-)

While I was away,
  - I received access to a jail for hosting versionned distfiles;
  - I received a mail from hrs@ where he exposes a migration plan to
    TeX Live and asked for comments / suggestions.

I replied to hrs@ and told him I would be happy to help, but have no
feedback yet.

Regarding the mirror of versionned distfiles, I have everything to set
it up I think, and I just have to take some time to hack something that
do the right thing and use it in my ports.  However, since there are
some boring flaws in the updating infrastructure, I postponed this,
thinking that an answer from hrs@ would have lead to working on funnier
things (with a better infrastructure).  While I have no news, I may
however setup the repository, it won't hurt I guess.

Best regards,
Romain
