I guess someone needs to make a policy decision as to whether the profiles in general should be distributed this way :-)

Is there still any objection against changing the download urls in the blfs profile to use anduin?
Currently there are a lot of dead links in our url-lists (and apart from those dead links, it also seems that ftp.gnome.org is down) and that should really be fixed before we release the profile.
Hello,
If you would like, I can throw my server in the mix as well for blfs packages. It would be most helpful though if it was under a /pub/ directory on the ftp server, as to not interfere with the current lfs structure. You can hit the server as hard as you like, link it, etc. The server I mean is lfs-matrix.net.
That would be very nice. I understand that anduin is currently being updated with the packages from blfs-6.0-pre1, so you can copy them over form there I guess.
I don't know exactly what you mean with that /pub/-thing, but I suspect that it has to do with keeping the mirror synced. I'm sure that someone else here will be able to sort that out :-)
