I have a local mirror of the Web site at http://freebsd.local/ but I don't have the whole site mirrored. I've got the GNATS repository but not the mailing list archives, for example. Therefore, I think it would be a good idea to have entities like &FreeBSDGNATS; &FreeBSDMail; or similar. This would allow my mirror of the site to link to query-pr.cgi and query-pr-summary.cgi locally, but link to mailindex.cgi at www.freebsd.org (or a European mirror if possible). Is this a good idea or am I complicating things too much? Regards, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
