Hi there all.

I've been wondering,... I'm borrowing some desk space at a company that has a really restrictive Internet access policy. A result of which is that I cant access anything over RSYNC. And I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue.

Whats the chances the core, opt and xorg repo's could be tarballed up and put up on http/ftp nightly, sorta like how the NetBSD pkgsrc guys do it? There are daily updated httpup repositories for the common (semi-)official repositories: http://crux.nu/ports/crux-2.4/

Here's an example httpup file for 2.1 (just adapt the URL for 2.4): http://crux.nu/files/core.httpup HTH, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann jw@smts.ch
