Actually, correct location is where the file was when you first committed it ;-) Distfiles are located in user specific dirs for distfiles belonging to ports they maintain or, in the case of nomaintainer, in the general dir. But you maintain slib so the distfile should be in your personal distfile directory.
But MacPorts has this URL as fallback directory for every port. Therefore it is in the right place as the report about slib on the users list [1] shows.
Yes, true. But still, mas is the maintainer of slib and it is our policy to put our distfiles (for ports we maintain) in our own distfile directories. Fetching from /distfiles/mas is as simple as listing "macports:mas" as the master_sites entry for the port. We can change that policy if we find something better, of course, I'm not opposing improvements. I'm just advocating consistency, as long as we have a policy lets stick to it ;-) Regards,... -jmpp
