Yes, I have scripts which run my Linux-based cvsup mirror
(cvsup12.FreeBSD.org, which runs Debian unstable).  However, they
are still under some development (IOW, I have a revised version
of the old hacked-up scripts that are currently being used that
just haven't been tested yet).  The machine might become a
FreeBSD box in the future, but I don't see it happenning atm.

Yes, it is not funny.  :-)
Maybe I should take my scripts and jdp's cvsup-mirror stuff and
combine them somehow and submit a deb to Debian.  That would be
funny, wouldn't it?  =)
