Whoever commits your ports can just place the distfile in his ~/local_distfiles/ and it will appear on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL. Dropping a note to hubs@ beforehand (I think that is the the proper list, but I'm not entirely sure) would be the polite thing, of course. There are also Sourceforge (http://www.sf.net/ --offline at the moment) and Savannah (http://savannah.gnu.org/). > -rw-r--r-- 1 kstailey wheel 48632878 May 26 12:00 PI-ITS-RP06.0-dbd9.bz You mentioned using bzip2.
