I have no intention of hosting any potential data, other than my own, for several reasons, not limited to the fact that my own personal servers are always in a state of flux since I am constantly doing beta testing and other projects with them. The owners of the corporate servers that I have access to would probably find it most unamusing if they found out I was using their systems for other than corporate business. > > Perhaps asking the community for a list of users wishing to offer > > free space for hosting orphaned ports/distfiles/etcetera might be > > an easier crapshoot. > > I'll do it. Give me a list and fix the Makefiles, and I'll co-host. That would be the responsibility of the each individual port maintainer. I am sure if you make it publicly known that you are offering such a service, perhaps by getting the FreeBSD webmaster to put such an advertisement up on the FreeBSD web site, you will get your wish.
