hi, i'm trying to understand the definitive structure of /pub/FreeBSD as i'm now using a combination of mirror and cvsup to keep things up to date. first of all, is there a definitive list of FreeBSD hubs that are considered `authoritative' and run rsyncd ? currently i use `mirror' from ftp.freebsd.org (aka ftp.cdrom.com) which doesn't support rsync. (yes, i've asked. the answer is no, probably never). because of lack of memory and bandwidth, i've broken up my mirroring into sections as: fb1 - /pub/FreeBSD/releases fb2 - /pub/FreeBSD/ports (excluding packages-2.2, packages-3.0, packages-3.1) fb3 - /pub/FreeBSD/development (excluding CTM, FreeBSD-CVS) fb4 - /pub/FreeBSD/doc using CVSup, i'm also mirroring (cvs-all, src-all) /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current /pub/FreeBSD/branches/2.2-stable /pub/FreeBSD/branches/3.0-stable /pub/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-CVS which leads to some questions and suggestions o what is /pub/FreeBSD/development/misc/packages ? o please don't put ISO images in with releases - it would be much better to have /pub/FreeBSD/iso and put iso images there including the 1.2G from /pub/FreeBSD/development/3.2-express are there any things i'm missing, or better ways to do the above ? i'm thinking of breaking down ports now, since it seems to involve updating about 1G every day. -jason jason andrade dstc pty ltd jason@dstc.edu.au senior sysadmin level 7, GPS Building 78 i just wanna be phn +61-7-33654307 university of queensland bluemisty fax +61-7-33654311 queensland 4072 australia and barefooted To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
