Hello everybody,
I'm sorry if this topic was posted (I'm not in the list :().
Our distfiles is often out of date consider with the ports. Many of us
maintain a distfiles mirror
ftp.<country>.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles
for our LANs, and for many people it's very
useful. But the ports is always changed quickly, and sometimes it takes
weeks to see the source distribution in distfiles.
IMHO, an updated and  centralized distfiles is so okay.
What do you think then?
