The main server already does fetch each port as it's committed, in order to mirror the distfiles. It could perhaps be extended to tar up files fetched by ports that fetch from version control. Then again, if we implement #16373, maybe we get almost the same thing for free. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16373 _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
