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 , 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?
