Well, that was only slightly optimistic :-)

The FTP site update process is now automatic.  For those interested (all
times UTC)

  01:01		My local CVSup mirror updates from cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
  02:01		Doc build machine updates from my local CVSup mirror
  03:01		Complete doc build (all languages, all formats) kicked off
		This takes 20-30 minutes
  04:01		My ftp server mirrors the build for external retrieval
  05:30		ftp-master.freebsd.org pulls updated files from me
 =20
And then the various ftp.*.freebsd.org sites all pull data from
ftp-master according to their own local schedules.

The practical upshot of this is that the FTP site could lag the docs in
CVS by 24 hours or so.
