I haven't read the hubs article lately. The numbers were adjusted to current reality 2 or 3 months ago. That said the hubs article does need more work. We were trying to come to something resembling consensus on what being an Official Mirror Site meant but that discussion was going on at the same time we were planning changes to the content of the site (dropping branches/) so it seemed like it would be best to procrastinate a bit on trying to finish the discussion. I'm not tracking more information about the sites and started to incorporate some of it into the article as well, which effects some of what's there (e.g. I added what access methods are available to the list of FTP mirror sites which makes the section about rsync hosts possibly defunct, but there was also http added as an access method and keeping separate lists of hosts for all three access methods seems a bit much...). The disk space numbers can't *really* be linked straight to an OS version because there is so much other stuff in the site. The size of the ports/distfiles and to some extent the -current package sets fluctuate based on non-release-issues. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
