Could anyone suggest an > alternate international server that I should use to cvsup from. is there a reason to mirror from an international one if the NZ one is working for you ? it would seems to make sense to try and keep the traffic within the country/region as well as not put any extra load on the master servers unless needed. as an alternate you could sync from a number of australian cvsup servers (e.g cvsup2.au.freebsd.org, cvsup3 etc..). > 2./ I would like cvsup to use a specific IP address when fetching data from > international sites as my default IP is restricted and my other on another > interface isn't.

i know this one off by heart because i was the one who kept hassling john for it and was very grateful when he put it in to shut me up ;-) > 3./ I have a 10 gig drive that I have put into my server dedicated for > FreeBSD, so this will have the cvsup for ports, freebsd-current and if there > is enough space, the ports/distfiles (I think this is 4gig?). I am using ports/distfiles is about 15G here. and ports/local-distfiles is some more. > rsync to grab this data, but unfortunately I cannot see any -current folder > on any of the ftp's I have looked at in NZ, does anyone know where I could > get this as I don't want all the old versions too. The distfiles shouldn't i am not sure what you mean. a -current of what ? ports ? distfiles ? > be a problem for me to grab as these are all situated in one folder. regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
