HELLO LIGHTNING, JKH, ET AL, WE HAVE A > RELEASE AND ITS COMING OUT TOMORROW!!! WHERE THE HELL IS OUR > INFRASTRUCTURE?!?! d:) in a bid to be proactive and hopefully not have things like the above again, can we start timetabling how mirrors will do releases of 4.4? does the freebsd development group have a timetable on when 4.4 RC releases will start shipping and then a fuzzyish date on 4.4 itself as well as a methodology for giving tier-1 mirrors access worldwide so that all mirrors don't swamp ftp-master as well as lots of users swamping ftp.freebsd.org as the "only" site which has this content. useful things to know: o is any *one* person going to co-ordinate this between mirror sites and the developer group - lack of any person taking ownership of this makes it difficult (peter wemm ? too busy?) o dates for releases o disk space needed to be allocated for - source tree (branches? cvsup? CTM?) - releases binaries for i386, alpha, PPC? - package application trees - ISO images o mirror methodology for distribution (e.g conditions, pre-release, tiering system) o list of sites who will have a complete 4.4 distribution for inclusion when press releases are made and for inclusion on any web pages and pointers. o liasing with slashdot/bsdtoday/bsdcentral/whoever in the press to ensure there is no leakage before a release date and to ensure they are aware of mirrors. regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
