Hi all, For the benefit of those of you who are noticing problems with portsnap right now: The release of FreeBSD 7.1 has resulted in a very large amount of traffic to update1.freebsd.org, which is hosted by the same box as portsnap-master... so the portsnap mirrors are having some trouble syncing right now. If you find that portsnap doesn't work, please be patient -- once the flood of people upgrading systems to 7.1-RELEASE has subsided things should get back to normal. (Before people ask: update2.freebsd.org is going to exist soon. No, I'm not looking for more mirrors right now.) -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
