On a side note, the svn part of one mirror had to be re-created a few = days ago as svnsync gets very unhappy if you pull the power while it's = running (we had a PSU die). There seem to be a fair chance your local = repository gets corrupted enough in that case that svn just gives up. = Not that it's a big problem, but is a bit annoying. We (clusteradm) are working on getting an EU mirror up, but no timeframe = yet. > You can do your own personal svnsync all the way from rev 0, but it > takes some time.

The original = ports mirror took ~24h to create - and that was over the LAN. Don't do = that yourself unless you feel like doing a latency test of your internet = connection :-). --=20 Simon L. B.
