ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD has overflowed its allotment of 640MB. I am working to get us more space, but until then we have to make some hard decisions: 1. Any and all 1.x stuff has to go someplace else. Any archive sites willing to take the ports, packages and dists for 1.x over completely and totally? If so, simply signal your assent by letting us know if you need more time to copy the bits so that you're not left stranded when we finally blow the 1.x stuff off of wcarchive. You will also want to adjust your mirror scripts as well, naturally.. :-) We will give 24 hours notice before finally removing the 1.x bits so that mirrors have a chance to update their mirror files if they wish to keep the 1.x stuff. 2. incoming needs a serious spring-cleaning. I'm loath to delete stuff like Andrew and Postgres if it has no other home, and there's no ports collection to take its place, but it's HUGE! I'd really much rather have both of these, and some of their similarly bloated cousins in incoming, to become real packages/ports and move to permanant homes rather than lurking forever in incoming. Anything you can do to clean up on wcarchive is greatly appreciated. Adding drives to the machine is not a trivial exercise, though we do have it scheduled for later this month. Jordan
