Having local language versions is certainly a good thing and I'm very happy to see it, I'm simply wondering if: A) It's better to try and somehow merge these back into the master sources so that anyone with a CVS repository could do something like: cvs co -P www cd www/data make LANG=ja_JP.EUC or whatever interface makes the most sense (maybe they go to www/data/ja_JP.EUC instead - I'm not Mr. I18N here :-) for making the Japanese copy of www.freebsd.org. Then www.jp.freebsd.org simply builds its own pages from source instead of mirroring www.freebsd.org and everybody's happy. B) Simply syncing this by hand whenever significant changes occur rather than building a mechanism for it. This appears to be the system in place now. :-) If we choose (A) then John Fieber is certainly going to need to tell us how to do it since he's the web god around here. If we choose (B) then I guess this is a "heads up!" to all regional www maintainers that the FreeBSD home page has changed significantly and the translation crews should start considering another revision of their local copies. :) Thanks..

Hubbard" Sender: owner-hubs@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Could the mirrors _please_ check that all non-relevant symlinks in their own copies are removed? The mirror program has bugs that cause it to re-mirror things in a loop when a directory becomes replaced by a symlink or vice-versa, and it's seriously distorting the download stats at ftp.freebsd.org. :-( [Not to mention wasting bandwidth]. Thanks! Even blowing away your mirror areas entirely and starting over would be desirable to looping. :) Jordan From owner-freebsd-hubs Tue Jun 17 21:00:15 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA26381 for hubs-outgoing; Tue, 17 Jun 1997 21:00:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from austin.polstra.com (austin.polstra.com [206.213.73.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA26376 for ; Tue, 17 Jun 1997 21:00:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from austin.polstra.com (jdp@localhost) by austin.polstra.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA10054 for ; Tue, 17 Jun 1997 21:00:11 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199706180400.VAA10054@austin.polstra.com> To: hubs@freebsd.org Subject: CVSup mirrors, please make this change Date: Tue, 17 Jun 1997 20:59:50 -0700 From: John Polstra Sender: owner-hubs@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk People running CVSup mirrors for FreeBSD, I need you to make a small change to your configurations. (I will take care of freefall and cvsup2.freebsd.org.) Soon I am going to add a new CVSup collection, "mail-archive release=current". It is the entire collection of archived mailing lists for the FreeBSD project. This collection is very large -- almost 500 MB. Most of you probably are not going to want to carry it, and understandably so. To avoid annoying warnings when the new collection comes into existence, please chdir into /usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes (or your local equivalent) and type: ln -s SKIP FreeBSD-mail.current (This assumes you're using the setup produced by the cvsup-mirror port.) Also please add a line like this to /usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile: mail-archive release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-mail.current You should put the new line just before the "distrib" collection. If you later decide that you want to carry the new collection, just create a directory for it somewhere with lots of free space. Let's say the directory is named "/foo". Then do this: cd /usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes rm FreeBSD-mail.current ln -s /foo FreeBSD-mail.current The new collection will be brought in by your next update. It will create a directory "/foo/archive" and populate it with all the archived mailing lists. Thanks, John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
