Your email seems to be a good way of requesting such a change. :-) Normally, the maintainers for individual ports would update their section to reflect the availability of a new mirror. For something more sweeping due to the large number of distributions you seem to be mirroring, perhaps you should contact <portmgr@freebsd.org>? (Particularly since FreeBSD is in a "ports freeze" pending the release of FreeBSD 4.9.) However, if you provided a diff of bsd.sites.mk which added your mirror for the software which you are hosting, that would be even better than having someone else figure out exactly what software you're mirroring. -- -Chuck
