In regards to UUCP as a port, I think it's a good idea. There is
nothing preventing us from including the dist files in the CD
distribution so network connectivity is not needed for someone to
install it.
If someone else puts together the port I would be happy to provide
disk space & net access for the fetch. I have good network
connectivity (a T1), not that I expect a uucp port would actually
require much in the way of bandwidth. The 'cpdup' port only
generates 159 downloads a month and I expect a 'uucp' port
generate much lower numbers, maybe 10 a month.
(This offer is really open to anyone who is managing a modest port
and does not have network resources to foot the distribution).
