https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D257767 Daniel Engberg <diizzy@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |diizzy@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #6 from Daniel Engberg <diizzy@FreeBSD.org> --- While I understand the intent I don't think it's a good idea because it isn= 't deprecated and there are some edgecases where there are few mirrors to begin with and some are ftp only. As for security it's been discussed before and SHA256 provides satisfactory security. It's not like HTTP is any better =C3=A4n FTP in that regard anywa= y. What I think would be a good idea however is to clean up Mk/bsd.sites.mk in some similar fashon to https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25005 The only change that may need some discussion is to move main sites as prim= ary source to last resort as I think that would be good conduct and many projec= ts actually asks you do use mirrors for offloading. Worth noting is that mirro= rs are many cases faster than primary site(s). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
