Hi Bruce,

we've mirrored the 5.0-DP2 releases for i386, ia64 and pc98 here at
ftp.au.freebsd.org.  it's great to see FreeBSD coming out with
the multiple architecture support, though it's going to be much
more interesting for mirrors in the future..  are alpha, ppc and
sparc likely to be 5.0 releases ?


at the moment the release layout is a bit inconsistent between architectures.

e.g

releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/5.0-DP2/

-rw-r--r--  1 1006  1006  582746112 Nov 17 00:23 5.0-DP2-disc1.iso
-rw-r--r--  1 1006  1006  312606720 Nov 17 00:21 5.0-DP2-disc2.iso


releases/ia64/ISO-IMAGES/5.0-DP2/

-rw-rw-r--   342589440 2002/11/21 05:48:50 disc2.iso
-rw-rw-r--   290750464 2002/11/21 05:46:26 miniinst.iso


it is probably too late to do anything with this release (as mirrors
will already start pulling it down, though so far ia64 hasn't
appeared very quickly), but would it be possible to standardize on
something like:

<version>-<state>-<arch>-<type>.iso ?

5.0-DP2-i386-disc1.iso

5.0-DP2-ia64-disc1.iso

5.0-DP2-ia64-mini.iso

and later (?)

5.0-R-i386-disc1.iso


regards,

-jason
