Thanks muchly for the heads up Ken - ~20G will normally take us
about a week or more to sync :-/

11.5G is a significant increase over:

7.7G    packages-4.10-release

any ideas why it may have gone up by ~50% since the last release?

does this also mean that 4.10-release migrates into the freebsd-archive
to be replaced by 4.11-release at around the same time ?

regards,

-jason
