It appears that I've been spreading a good deal of erroneous information in my little sup-server-kit.tar.gz file on freefall, and I've moved it to sup-server-kit.tar.gz.BROKEN for now. Once Justin updates it, I expect he'll move it back. Basically, things in ~sup have changed rather dramatically over the last few months and I clearly haven't been keeping up with the changes, nor have the docs I've been referring to in ~ftp/pub/sup (on freefall) been kept up to date, as would also appear to be the case in the Handbook. At this point I'm going to admit defeat and refer everyone to the sup meister (appointed by his own hand :-), Justin Gibbs. Please talk to Justin <gibbs@freebsd.org> about sup related matters if you're one of the folks who have volunteered to be a sup mirror for the -stable, -current or CVS bits. I clearly need to educate myself about the current state-of-the-art in our sup collections before I can presume to guide other folks through the process. I've also asked Justin to wield a large broom in ~sup to clean out all the old dreck in there since it's currently a very confusing pastiche of old and new collections, and frankly I don't really even know where old stops and new starts anymore. If you're using old sup files, you should probably expect them to break in the next 24 hours or so (Justin will probably send out his own announcement). I do believe you've been warned about the impending changes, so don't come crying to us when they break! :) Again, I'm sorry for the confusion I caused and will now bow gracefully out (as well as I can with egg all over my face, anyway) of the sup server education business. Someone should probably also update the handbook and the information files in ~ftp/pub/sup on freefall. Thanks! Jordan
