I have been making a few minor tweaks to the site listing in the Handbook based on the feedback I got to the site information I asked for as well as a few other things. The biggest changes are: 1)Cvsup sites no longer have a "site maintainer" email address in the Handbook, though I am still keeping records of the sites privately. This seemed like a bigger spam generator than anything else and I got what amounts to approval (nobody complained *loudly*) from the developer community. 2)The ftp sites now have a list of access methods beside their name. Most are just "ftp" at the moment. I would like to use that second change to be the indication that a site offers rsync access, and remove the listing of rsync sites in the rsync section of the Handbook. Instead of the list of sites there I'll replace it with a very short tutorial about manually using rsync to ask an rsync server what modules it offers (which if combined with the FTP mirror site listing having (2) seems more useful). Does anyone see a problem with that? You might want to take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html to make sure I got things right for your site. If I didn't get it right (or, worse, I managed to miss your site completely somehow) let me know off-list please and I'll fix it asap. I'll also be adding in an extra tag to the FTP sites soon to indicate the ones that are IPv6 reachable. I don't think I need to ask you folks to tell me one way or another if your site is, I should be able to get it from DNS. :-) Thanks. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |help
