Re: MacPorts caching of distfiles [was Re: ntfs-3g 1.1120 source missing]

It would match the layout of the ports in the svn repo and make the tree a little more manageable for human consumption. I could see providing Apache indexes for the tree so people could browser and grab distfiles manually. But mainly my suggestion was based on matching svn.

So whats left? I think you'll want a special hostname for these? Maybe http://distfiles.macports.org/<group>/<port>/<file>?

I'm not sure what value <group> adds. <port>/<file> would seem more than reasonable, and a completely flat namespace even more so since it then becomes very easy to add to the search path for all ports.
