I swapped the directory and links, because I realized that it's impossible to "get ports-2.1.tar.gz" from the upper level due to the .notar file and "get ports.tar.gz" inside 2.1R would return a tarfile consisting of a single symbolic link. ;) Thus, what used to look like this: ports-2.1 (directory) 2.1.0-RELEASE/ports -> ../ports-2.1 now looks like this: ports -> 2.1.0-RELEASE/ports 2.1.0-RELEASE/ports (directory) People on the mirror sites may want to avoid copying the files over by making the abovementioned changes by hand. I'm reluctant to move the packages-2.1 because it is huge, although that is the only one that does not fit in the picture now. What do you guys think? Do you think it will be ok if we all coordinate the change and do it together? (I.e., I change it on ftp.freebsd.org, mirror site admins change them on the mirror sites, at the same time, so there won't be excessive file transfers.) Satoshi
