[csw-maintainers] RFC: Drop arch-specific packages of pkgutil and static from primary mirror

[Dagobert Michelsen]

Hi,

I would like to clean up the primary mirror:

> -rw-r--r--   1 16801    103       305152 Aug 20  2010 pkgutil-i386.pkg
> -rw-r--r--   1 16801    103       365056 Aug 20  2010 pkgutil-sparc.pkg
> -rw-r--r--   1 16801    103       547328 Jul  1  2011 pkgutil.pkg
>

My suggestions:

1. Drop outdated, arch-specific pkgutil-i386.pkg and pkgutil-sparc.pkg
   Alternatively we could link that to pkgutil.pkg, but I would remove them
   to make a cleaner toplevel.

2. Remove static wget binaries completely as a static wget is now also shipped
   with pkgutil.pkg

3. The pkgutil build recipe currently just copies in the static binaries from
   the sourceforge zip. I suggest building a static wget during the pkgutil
   build phase. The wget recipe already contains a modulation for a static build.

Thoughts?


Best regards
