Yes, it's related to these problems. There's no point in syncing up the local-distfiles stuff without a primary master server. Period. The ftp.freebsd.org we have now is not a primary master, it's more of a 4.3R clearinghouse server (well, it has other releases now, but it's still a subset of what the former ftp.freesoftware.com server once had ;<). It's unfortunate that lightning.net had to crap out now (or whatever the actual problem is), but... we'll make do with what we can. Peter Wemm is working on an ftp-master server for the mirrors (yay!) so the main ftp site won't (any longer) be viewed as THE site for everyone. Good man, that Peter Wemm. Indeed. :-) --=20 wca --Tz7mAkDDWm/7r1IB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE67GfMF47idPgWcsURApe4AKCSBdgngYQo5WWHOfsj+Ky0+G/TvwCeI88J uxGCm80T4cL2OHBPnckbaDw= =tTjk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Tz7mAkDDWm/7r1IB-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
