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
>
> -rwxr-xr-x 2 16801 103 164576 Aug 20 2010 wget-i386
> -rwxr-xr-x 2 16801 103 164576 Aug 20 2010 wget-i386.bin
> -rwxr-xr-x 2 16801 103 224672 Aug 20 2010 wget-sparc
> -rwxr-xr-x 2 16801 103 224672 Aug 20 2010 wget-sparc.bin

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 Drop outdated, arch-specific pkgutil-i386.pkg and pkgutil-sparc.pkg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
