There are a large number of third-party links directly to sites provided by the software developers, such as GitHub or their own site= s. The number of these files is so large that the ports mirror is essentially useless. If you don't use a VPN or proxy server, it is basically impossible= to use ports to install the software. The Gentoo mirrors basically cache all t= he files you need. I don't know why this is a problem. What exactly are the criteria for caching and not caching? I know there is = some software that has distribution restrictions or other copyright restrictions, but they are in the minority in ports. The reality is that almost all softw= are is not cached on mirrors, and ports mirrors are almost impossible to use without using a proxy or VPN. This is not conducive to future maintenance, and if a user needs to downloa= d a fairly old version, it may be difficult to download the software that was available at the time. It is also not conducive to the advocacy and promoti= on of FreeBSD. Although pkg can solve the problem to some extent, ports are still an impor= tant software installation method and one of the strengths of FreeBSD, supporting both binary package installation and installation via source code. This is hampered by the current caching mechanism. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
