}I'll define NO_SRC_ON_FTP for some of these opening books I suspect
}our mirror sites won't want to mirror these files.  We can remove it
}later if we decide otherwise.

I'd rather mirror distfiles than year old snapshots (and getting rid
of the year+ old snapshots in /pub/NetBSD/arch would be more than the
267MB for this package).  And I really wish hpcmips would put their
binary packages in /pub/NetBSD/packages/ rather than in /pub/NetBSD/arch/
since binary packages are currently the one thing I don't mirror.
