I'd rather you not list the ftp.ca.freebsd.org one yet... I'm hoping that someone will note its absence and volunteer. I've submitted a query to the GTA BSD User's group in Toronto asking for their help in finding someone to stand up and accept the task. Anyone have any other suggestions on where I could troll for interest? -Mit -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Peter Pentchev Sent: October 17, 2002 3:40 PM To: doc@FreeBSD.org Cc: hubs@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Comprehensive patch to update the FTP/WWW/CVSup resources info On Thu, Oct 17, 2002 at 10:29:45PM +0300, Peter Pentchev wrote: > Hi, > > A request from the maintainer of a newly established Romanian WWW and > CVSup mirror prompted me to check the mirror sites lists in the > Handbook.

Err.. oops! It seems that I actually forgot to CC it to -hubs. Incidentally, just as this message was being written, I received an e-mail from Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe <mit@dreamlabs.com>, containing exactly the updates I needed for the ca.FreeBSD.org zone! Attached is an updated patch, which corrects the cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org maintainer's address, and comments out the ftp.ca.FreeBSD.org, which is currently aliased to ftp.FreeBSD.org.. or should we list it anyway?
