Hello all,

Sorry if this is not the best place to send this, but I have gotten no reply from ftp-bugs@ftp.freesoftware.com and I'm not sure where else to send this sort of thing.

Basically there are 4 broken symlinks on the site right now, which ends up annoying me daily because I have scripts that go and make sure there are no broken symlinks on my archive (but since you have them, I have them).

Here is the list:

BOGUS: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-5-current/Latest/imake.tgz
BOGUS: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-2.2.8/japanese/ja-handbook-2.2.7.tgz
BOGUS: /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/XF86333
BOGUS: /pub/FreeBSD/branches/2.2-stable/ctm

The third link isn't actually broken on the main site, however it is a link to ../../../../pub/XFree86/3.3.3.1/binaries/FreeBSD-3.0 which means every mirror site has this as a broken link unless they also happen to have a pub/XFree86/ directory, which I am assuming most do not. There should be an actual copy of the directory if it is actually required there so that all mirrors have the same thing.

Thanks,

-b
