--9Iq5ULCa7nGtWwZS Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear all, I am an administrator of ftp1.de.freebsd.org which gets is data from ftp-master.eu.freebsd.org. This mirror in turn directly gets its data =66rom ftp-master.freebsd.org. It seems sometimes there are files on ftp-master.freebsd.org that should not be readable by the public. I guess these files should be distributed to some mirrors first, before the access bits are flipped. However, these files are also not readable when trying to get them from secondary mirrors like ftp-master.eu. As a consequence my mirror experiences permission errors. Is this intended? I guess not. Please ensure that intermediate mirrors like ftp-master.eu provide a way to make these files available using rsync. If you do not want to do this, please refrain from "publishing" unreadlable files. I already spoke with the administrator of ftp-master.eu.freebsd.org who does not understand the problem fully and does not want to interfere with the access bits. This is why I ask for a "global" solution. Thanks, --=20 Carsten Otto otto@informatik.rwth-aachen.de LuFG Informatik 2 http://verify.rwth-aachen.de/otto/ RWTH Aachen phone: +49 241 80-21211 --9Iq5ULCa7nGtWwZS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk7vQcgACgkQjUF4jpCSQBSsNACgpWFWf112yDqc8HsXSxneSFQc q8EAn3hNS6W0DKFi6W1vYrZqnMIwv9TZ =owGk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --9Iq5ULCa7nGtWwZS--
