It might be nice if it were SOP (standard operating procedure) for maintainers to find multiple mirrors for each package - not just the major ones. I did this for my libao pkg, since the main site went down at least once that I know of. I suggested to masanori that he add the extra ogg mirror to his ogg packages but he did not do so. The maintainers should be the ones "searching gooogle for mirrors", NOT the users! Thats what the mirrors field is for. -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
