What publicly-available Geo-IP scripts are you talking about? If we don't have a central download URL, then we can't accurately track downloads. So if that's a desired feature, then that's the consequence. SourceForge uses one of these and it seems to work for them. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
