I understand the situation but most personal/portable mirrors only mirror one or at most a few architectures which makes it unusable for cross-building. You would presumably have to ask in advance which architectures people will need to have available - that isn't particularly useful as a default for all users. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
