Sorry for the seemingly dumb question, but is there a problem with
precompiled packages for FreeBSD 6 (packages-6-stable) being mirrored
on the FTP servers?

About two weeks ago I noticed that the databases/mysql50-server
package disappeared from the directory in which I usually find it:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/databases/

I thought "ok, maybe there was a build problem."  However, that
directory doesn't contain any packages with timestamps later than 24
January.

Looking at Pointyhat error logs, I see this:

Packages from last full run on 6-current [i386 (2006-02-05 15:09)]...

Packages from latest run on 6-current [i386 (2006-02-10 22:58)]...

Sure enough, I can find the MySQL package here:

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-packages-full/databases/mysql=
-server-5.0.18.tbz

and here:

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-packages-latest/databases/mys=
ql-server-5.0.18.tbz

If the newest packages date from yesterday, where are they on the main
FTP server?

The only place that seems to have the latest packages-6-stable
packages (including the MySQL one I referenced above) is
ftp2.freebsd.org.

Thank you,

Richard
