It would be nice if the problems with archive_site_local could be fixed. We use a custom archive_site_local on Buildbot and Travis and because of these bugs it doesn't work quite right.



https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57718

Unexpected behavior when archive_site_local contains more than 1 URL

I submitted a PR for this. You requested tests verifying the behavior. I don't know how to write tests for MacPorts.



https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57719

archive_site_local URLs are attempted twice



https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57720

preferred_hosts has no effect on archive_site_local



https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57690

Warning when disabling default archive_sites

This isn't really related, but maybe something we should fix: either our behavior is wrong or our documentation about being able to disable this setting is wrong.



I think similar problems probably exist for the local setting for master_sites and patch_sites.
