I recently had to grab the ports distribution for FreeBSD. With the current strategy of separating the original distribution and the FreeBSD diffs, and the fact that most ftp sites support tar and gzip, I thought it was ok to move to the the parent directory of ports and do get ports.tar.gz EXCEPT that this also includes "ports/distfiles", which is huge. Could we move it somewhere else ? This way, grabbing a ports distribution would become very fast.
