* Now that freefall is no longer accepting FTP connections (hub is, and * is serving the same files, but then no one points to hub :-) I think * maybe it's time to stop putting the local ports on there, don't you * think? More specifically, I think that putting them in * ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS would make more sense * for both space and speed reasons. But what about availability reasons? :) ftp.freebsd.org is the backup site as well, so when it's down both primary and backups will be unreachable. I thought that's the whole reason why we made it separate in the first place. * What do you think? We have the space, and I've already copied the * files into /archive/.3/FreeBSD... I suggest we keep them on hub but with a different name so that we don't have to change ports again in the future. How about making an alias "ftp-local.freebsd.org" point to hub? I can change the ports and handbooks. Satoshi
