Memory is part of the overall "look at lots of stuff" problems rsync slowly runs into. But not everyone uses FreeBSD (yet :-) on their mirror servers. I see at least a few people on this list participating in mirror lists for other things and know they're running on Linux machines. At the moment the machine I've got most of my mirror stuff is a FreeBSD 5.1 machine but I can't use cvsup yet because it's a Sparc...

Someone needs to be willing to do the work of organizing it all... Things have come a long way from the days of CSRG distributions on tape, the CSRG folks refusing to even hint when a release would be finished and ready to ship, and Release Engineering was just a small part of one person's job... :-) -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
