So just "thank you and f.o." without any discussion at least with mirror maintainers. We here (and I personally) provide ftp/cvsup.ua.freebsd.org mirror for >10 years, put lots of efforts and money (with the help of community), and now you just discussed something behind the closed doors and say "f.o., we don't need you anymore, but we let you run mirror". What a releif that you don't prohibit us from running local (unofficial) mirrors. Thanks! >:E Some of mirrors have done upgrades recently (hardware) and now you also say - go away, we'll do everything on our own. For me it looks very unpolite and and unfair. First freebsd-udpdate, then portsnap without publicly available server-side parts, now everything else? Oracle-way? :) -- Alexandr Kovalenko ftp/cvsup.ua.freebsd.org maintainer.
