Tobez: no disrespect intended, obviously you saw a problem with the
master sites for perl 5.8.7 and did what you could to help, and with
your position as a maintainer, I know that the trust we have in you and
your patches is well earned, so don't take this question as anything but
my well-earned paranoia rearing its ugly head:
Yes, building perl5.8.7 did seem like it had a lot of problems with the
master_sites which is why I went to the freebsd ports cvs tree and
looked to see if they fixed it, however, I believe it would be prudent
for me to ask:
How safe is this your site?
And, yes, in some of my build scripts I pull the distfiles from our
local system due to some issues with some of the sites, however, how
safe is tobez.org from hacking? =20
(ok, so, how safe is OUR site from hacking) or anyone's for that matter,
so please don't take this as a challenge. I have enough to do not to
have to go rebuilding our servers.
