Ken Smith created the DNS entries for the first two portsnap mirrors (my server and a mirror donated by Eric Anderson) about two hours ago. The portsnap builds are being done on secteam-managed hardware, and as soon as I'm happy that everything is working correctly I'll send the necessary code and instructions to portmgr and secteam about how to set up portsnap building and mirroring. Based on the code which will be going into the base system, it shouldn't be evident that I had any involvement at all. :-) Colin Percival
