I think this is an excellent idea (as we discussed a while back). It
will allow us to set a default target for downloading packages for all
of our distributions and generally make things a whole lot easier
to deal with.
The only issue that came up last time it was discussed was the fact
that pkg_add tries to get a full directory every time it accesses
via a HTTP address, which can take a while. I recall Joerg saying
that was being worked on. I think we can live with it until it gets
dealt with by the pkgsrc folks.
