only the original posting above moves.. nothing about the recent moves.
the current mirror has been going for 36 hours to try and update branches
(which i could have updated by simply moving 2 directories into that
area and just updating files..)
and yes, i'm now looking at fmirror/omi to get around memory/time problems
with mirror.
19367 mirror 1 35 0 122M 3528K sleep 77:53 0.57% perl

is there a mirror.howto for freebsd anywhere ?
e.g what needs to be preserved using `mirror' and what needs to be
cvsup'ed now ?
previously i'd been using:
#
package=freebsd
site=ftp.freebsd.org
remote_dir=/pub/FreeBSD
local_dir+/FreeBSD
exclude_patt=(^|/)(incoming|\.notar|\.nocompress|\.recent|\.mirror|\.mutex_build|lost\+found)
local_ignore=(FreeBSD-CVS|FreeBSD-current/(doc|ports|src|sup|www)|FreeBSD-stable/(src|sup)|doc/(mailing-lists))
ls_lR_file=/pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.gz
do_deletes=true
make_bad_symlinks=true
mode_copy=true
max_delete_files=20%
max_delete_dirs=20%
#
and CVSup to update CVS/current/stable.
what's the current requirement for a complete mirror ?
and can people please not move anything around anymore for a bit ?
and give some notice before any further moves ? i almost deleted
half the archive today because i was down to 99% of disk, before
realising that i had 2 simultaneous copies of -current and -stable
due to the move.
