Peter has long been an active contributor to FreeBSD, is our current CVS repository manager and all around importer-of-new-bits. I'm sure you've seen his many messages to the hackers and committers lists, so no further introduction should be necessary.

Hubbard" Sender: owner-announce@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Nic.funet.fi now mirrors freebsd-current and ports (no distfiles collection yet) from sup.freebsd.org. Secure/eBones collection from sup.internat.freebsd.org is available, too. If there is need I can also start mirroring freebsd-stable 1) and perhaps NetBSD.. Nic also mirrors ftp.freebsd.org. Nic is a big ftp/www-server owned by FUNET (Finnish university network). It is an AlphaServer 3000/900 with 320MB RAM, about 50GB RAID-5 disk and it is connected to FUNET through FDDI and (experimental) ATM. Collections are updated twice a day (currently at 0230 and 1430 GMT) and current client limit is 50. All European users and especially users from the Nordic countries are welcome. Here is a sample entry for supping from nic: src-usrsbin release=current host=nic.funet.fi hostbase=/pub/mirrors/sup.freebsd.org base=/usr prefix=/usr/src login=ftp delete old use-rel-suffix Notice the entry "login=ftp". I didn't want to create a new pseudo account so sup uses an existing account. You can get the complete sup files from ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/sup.freebsd.org/ You may get lots of "Updated.." when supping but it shouldn't be harmful (other than slowing sup down a bit). It is probably caused by some nightly administrative job that changes the ctime of directories. If you have any problems please send email to me . ..vode 1) Don't try to sup freebsd-stable now, because the collections do exist but they are empty - sup would delete your files..
