Greetings from Kirkkonummi (in the vicinity of Helsinki),
I was looking for openoffice-1.1.4 package for FreeBSD-4.11 (STABLE),
and to my astonishment your site still carries only the old 1.1.0
package.
Assuming others might also be looking first to your site for 1.1.4
binaries, would it not be worthwhile distributing also that version
for both FreeBSD-4-STABLE and FreeBSD-5-STABLE?
AFAIK currently the only site carrying those packages is a Russian
site to which the network connectivity is so bad that it takes more
than 10h to download a 72MB package. (Or maybe they are just limiting
everyones bandwidth to a few thousand bits per second.) Anyhow during
such a long download there is ample time for all sorts of problems
at the server and in the network which might cut the transmission.
So, there is a big risk to have to try over and over again only
stressing the apparently already overstreched network even more.
So, could you do the community a service by posting also 1.1.4
binary packages to your site?
Just my 0.02 € worth.
