Indeed, a cursory glance showed that ftp2.freebsd.org and and ftp3.freebsd.org have *.tar.Z, but ftp.de.freebsd.org and ftp2.de.freebsd.org have *.tar.gz! Apparently, German mirrors have *.gz, which is not good. Whom do I approach about the German mirrors? kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
