Couldn't we set up a master pkgsrc repository using Hammer, and then use
Hammer's mirroring capability? Would be nice to experiment and see how
it performs. As most pkgsrc files are actually very small, the size
penalty should not matter that much.

Oh btw, can we Hammer-mirroring from slaves? Actually, I don't see a
reason why this shouldn't be possible (just too lazy to try it out
myself right now).
