For many years, the FreeBSD Portsnap mirrors have had hostnames of "portsnapN.freebsd.org" for various values of N. Due to recent changes in both the set of mirrors I manage and the way that Portsnap DNS is organized, the official mirror names are now all in the form "mirrorname.portsnap.freebsd.org" for various values of "mirrorname". I am in the process of shutting down old mirrors, and in the near future I will be removing all of the old-style DNS records. If you have "SERVERNAME=XX.portsnap.FreeBSD.org" for XX equal to "us", "eu", or "ru", you don't need to do anything; but the "XX." prefix is no longer necessary, since Portsnap's geolocated DNS will send you to a nearby mirror without needing you to specify your region in the DNS name. If you have "SERVERNAME=portsnapN.FreeBSD.org" for some value of N, you will find that portsnap stops working until you remove the the N value. As with the "XX." prefixes the original advantage of doing this (making sure that you're hitting a nearby mirror) no longer exists. - -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlBYn9QACgkQOM7KaQxqam6qWQCgv8S8nPAN4FBx0bqI3DlHNwmJ e+0An3m42F44TxhRkOnx1RkOJ/sIA0h4 =Yk/N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
