It's also an issue for security related releases, as we either have to delay the release of an advisory, or they have to put in something like, "The packages for this will be available... someday." > The problem is bandwidth -- you're > asking us to upload *5+ GB* of data at once. Surely you don't upload every single package every single time? It should be pretty easy to keep track of what ports get upgraded during a given time period, and only upload those, shouldn't it? Our ports system gets bigger every day, this is a problem that needs a solution sooner rather than later.
