[-- Attachment #1 --] In porting lame but useful software, I often have to roll up my own distfile because upstream doesn't bother ever releasing their code. I stick the distfiles in ~/public_distfiles so it gets the load-distribution love, but it seems that none of the mirrors updates from there very frequently -- I usually end up not getting the file to fetch until the next day. If I commit my port update before it gets distributed, I usually get email complaints from users that day. Would it be possible for a single mirror that is in MASTER_SITE_LOCAL to sync local-distfiles more frequently, so that porters can commit local-distfile ports quicker after rolling them? For reference, MASTER_SITE_LOCAL contains: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.se.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.uk.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.ru.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.cn.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ -- Eric Anholt anholt@FreeBSD.org eric@anholt.net eric.anholt@intel.com [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHC+eTHUdvYGzw6vcRAqWyAJsH90OQndm1C8pv3oS64Txp7Bz5rQCgjl1/ xiINHcj5eejzeyFMb7ipsZo= =eQ8H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
