--fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Greetings mirror maintainers and others. Recently, a question came up within our community, should we be using other project sites for distfile fetching? Sites like Debian and Gentoo mirror many of the tarballs we use for our ports. I engaged the infrastructure people and the mirror maintainers at the Debian and Gentoo projects, and the answer was simply yes, feel free to use them for your purposes, basically use but don't abuse it, standard rules of the sandbox :) Which now rather begs to ask the question, what is the opinion of our mirror maintainers? How do you feel about non-FreeBSD projects using our resources? Our community supports and sponsors some of these sites, should others be allowed to use them? Please feel free to reply publicly, and private emails directly to me will be held in the strictist of confidence. I am curious to see how our people feel on the matter. Thanks for your time and attention to this matter.
