The current version of the Handbook says that there are mirrors
in the UK at cvs{,2,3,4}.uk.freebsd.org . The actual state of
play at present seems to be that ...
- cvsup.uk.freebsd.org is not responding to
cvsup connections, although it is pingable
- cvsup2.uk.freebsd.org exists but is overloaded
- cvsup3.uk.freebsd.org doesn't resolve
- cvsup4.uk.freebsd.org has a disastrously out-of-date
mirror; when I pointed cvsup at it my ports collection
got downgraded (!)
The first two problems are presumably transient,
but the other two seem more serious -- especially the
last. I think the list of cvsup servers could do with
an update.
(I've mailed mirror@teleglobe.net, which I hope is
the right address, to alert them to the problem with
cvsup4.)
