Hello, timezones, timezones, timezones... Just for info, it is typical that time interval for feedback is several hours. For somebody this interval is over the day, but for me it is over night. However it is not a big problem, because this feedback is sufficient just from small number of people. Just to know it. > the Web site rebuilds.

There is written rule, that we should not use shorter interval for cvsup updates than once per hour and it is something like the default value, so (I think that) everybody uses one hour interval or similar for cvsup updates. However, there is nothing similar for ftp updates. I tried to agree on some suggested value for the reason "how often and when to start updates to be good FreeBSD mirror" with Jordan & others, when they were release engineers, but nobody said any value. They leaved it fully on mirror maintainers. I use 6 hour interval, somebody uses smaller, others use bigger. If there is somebody now, who wants to do such suggestion - not too short and not too long, it may be perhaps benefical, because we do not have any feedback about ftp-master load (?). > (Putting together a snapshot sure is a learning experience!) ;-) (Thanks to all for time and work put in FreeBSD!) -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
