Would it be a good idea to run a regular automatic make fetch on freefall, then when other sites mirror the distfiles directory, they'd get all the newly incorporated extras too ? Some sites (such as the one I tape dump distfiles from once a week), don't generally run make fetch, as the mirror host doesnt run FreeBSD, but A-N-Other-UX-OS. Currently my distfiles/ off tape from that mirror always seesm to have a lot more missing than just the `LEGAL'-limited stuff, yet I know they mirror frequently. If we did this make fetch, we'd want to avoid distributing kermit etc. Julian S
