I have built a list of FTP sites from a variety of "sources" (so far
a DNS scan combined with what I've been able to find on ftp-master
as far as site records go). I'm relatively sure a fair chunk of the
site contact info I have is ... stale. So...
If you are an Official FreeBSD Mirror Site and plan to carry the
upcoming FreeBSD-4.9 release please reply to this straight to me (NOT
a global reply). The information I would like to collect is:
FreeBSD name:
Real site name:
Site Contact(s): [*REAL* email address, who would send mirror-admin email]
Public Contact(s): [*may* go on Web site like cvsup maintainer does now]
Content: [ISO's/release files/packages]
Access Methods: [FTP/rsync/cvsup/http]
Upstream Host: [where you feed from]
Sync Mechanism: [how you download - cvsup/rsync/omi/mirror/etc]
For a fictional site this would be:
FreeBSD name: ftp20.us.freebsd.org
Real site name: coggsworth.cse.buffalo.edu
Site Contact(s): kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu
Public Contact(s): hostmaster@cse.buffalo.edu
Content: everything
Access Methods: ftp/rsync
Upstream Host: ftp-master.us.freebsd.org
Sync Mechanism: rsync
I'll do my best to merge the information collected this way with what
I collected through other ways. If you send me email describing your
site and the contact info is radically different from what I collected
from existing information I *might* have more questions for you. The
information collected will be used for a variety of projects I've mentioned
I wanted to do - mapping out the current "tiering" structure, generating
an authoritative list of the mirror sites, the beginnings of that
announce-only email list for all of the mirror sites to be on, etc.
Since I'm hoping to get a fairly large number of replies to this I'll
say "Thanks in advance". I probably won't be able to reply to everyone
who responds saying Thanks...
