I have just done the same test with the same result with cvsup5.de and cvsup10.us. www.mavetju.org/unix/freebsd-mirrors/ have all cvsup mirrors in red, and IIRC someone wrote on hubs@ that the current test for mirrors was flawed because it tried at a now inexistent file. And someone else wrote that the project does not want anymore mirrors which are not under its direct control. My conclusion is that there is something wrong in the chain, for now 6 days, and if nobody in the project noticed, it was only the demonstration that nobody cares anymore. I definitively switched to svn (sigh) on October 6th, and do want to be the eternal whistle blower on that subject. > 1.)

It is clear that there have been a problem at least with lists.freebsd.org, but what astonishes me is the fact that in our glorious 21th century, nobody thought to inform people on the mailing lists, or on the home page of www.freebsd.org (no, I do not want to be on Twitter or FaceBook for that kind of information). > > Glen > Thank you for taking the pain of reading my emails.
