Simon refers to the very useful mirror monitoring site created and maintained by edwin@. I also maintain my own monitor for a much smaller subset of mirrors in which I have particular interest. Most of the mirror age information relies on some kind of regularly updated TIMESTAMP from the master which is replicated to each of the mirrors. That's easy with the FTP mirrors because ftp-master provides /pub/FreeBSD/TIMESTAMP. The nearest thing we had been able to find for CVSup mirrors was the timestamp in the $FreeBSD$ tag in CVSROOT-ports/modules, since a fresh version of that file was being generated most days. Since ports has moved to Subversion, the modules file has not been updated and I haven't been able to find a substitute "TIMESTAMP" that we can use to check the age of CVSup mirrors. I note that this wouldn't be a problem if it were possible to get at CVS history from a CVSup client. Any suggestions? --=20 John Marshall --YkJPYEFdoxh/AXLE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlA/92EACgkQw/tAaKKahKJgogCbBcE7XrlSuFArmUlWtxtRhjya FhMAoMkMNVNBOuQ2gQe00o23T83Cj4pH =8hHU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --YkJPYEFdoxh/AXLE--
