PLEASE don't do that yet! I am telling you again: the sup mirrors still do NOT work right. In several attempts spread over the past few months, I have never yet succeeded in getting any of the sup mirrors to give me an intact cvs tree. Invariably, they delete some of my perfectly good files, without replacing them later on. As an example, sup5 is currently (and repeatably) doing this to me: SUP 9.26 (4.3 BSD) for file supfile.sup5 at Mar 20 04:15:01 SUP Upgrade of src-base-cvs at Wed Mar 20 04:15:01 1996 SUP Fileserver 9.13 (4.3 BSD) 21149 on burka.rdy.com at 04:15:01 SUP Fileserver supports compression.

I'm using the client from -stable, which is identical to the one in -current. I'm currently working with Dima to try and figure out what is going on. I've instrumented my sup client with a bunch of printfs, and I'm trying to analyze the copious output they've given me. (Help from somebody who already knows the sup internals would be most welcome!) Until this is finally fixed, I'm in trouble if you cut me off from sup.freebsd.org. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
