Yes, after 2 months away, I am back :-) While I was away, - I received access to a jail for hosting versionned distfiles; - I received a mail from hrs@ where he exposes a migration plan to TeX Live and asked for comments / suggestions. I replied to hrs@ and told him I would be happy to help, but have no feedback yet. Regarding the mirror of versionned distfiles, I have everything to set it up I think, and I just have to take some time to hack something that do the right thing and use it in my ports. However, since there are some boring flaws in the updating infrastructure, I postponed this, thinking that an answer from hrs@ would have lead to working on funnier things (with a better infrastructure). While I have no news, I may however setup the repository, it won't hurt I guess. Best regards, Romain
