[...] But, at least for me, the situation is extremely miserable these days. I guess, in addition to the normal mail load, freefall finally suffered from the CVS tree tag operation, causing a 2.5 MB CTM delta mailed out (34 messages per 72 KB). Perhaps it would be a better idea to move the CTM and sup load from freefall over to an additional host? The shipping of those CTM mails has been totally hosed this times. E.g., 9 out of the 34 chunks didn't even reach me. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
