As for Google Drive, I suppose that it could be a solution as long as you have adequate space for the distro(s). The URLs are pretty ugly. I don't know if there is a way to make them a bit "prettier". DISTFILE will need to be explicitly stated in the Makefile. I'd move it to githb or some place like that, I think. I noticed that iperf, a project with which I used to be involved, just moved to github. --=20 R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
