In Your Inifinite Free Time...

For any ports for which you fetch from version control rather than
downloading a tarball, I suggest that a cron job somewhere
periodically fetch the latest code from the upstream version control,
then make a tar backup.

That way if their version control completely disappears you still have
the source.

I can really see the value of something like the wayback machine at
archive.org, only it checks out code from every source repository that
walks the Earth.
