I think we're just about ready to go, at least for the rsync clients. Please make sure you are using the current version: ftp-master# rsync --version rsync version 2.4.6 protocol version 24 Dont even use 2.4.x where x <= 5. I ran into some problems with them. The command you probably want to do a full mirror is: rsync -vaz --delete rsync://ftp-master.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/ ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/ Leave out the --delete initially to make sure you are not in for a nasty suprise. I am not sure what to do about the dir.sizes and ls-lR.gz file. Right now they are copies of what was rsync'ed from ftp.freesoftware.com. ftp is not yet available. people can ftp from inside the freebsd cluster, but I have no way to use the mirror access list yet. So for now, for the folks who want to use ftp, sorry. Once another mirror has updated, you can mirror that. jkh did some spring cleaning before the final rsync, the archive is now ~48GB. The release candidates and some other stuff got cleaned out. It does have 4.3-R, but the timestamps may be off. They never made it to ftp.freesoftware.com, and there are several unofficial copies around. All the checksums were verified though. Fire away, but please be gentle to start with.
