Hi,
What is the right address or mailing list for suggestions
regarding the creation of snapshots? I have the following
two suggestions:
- sysinstall seems to look only in /pub/FreeBSD for the
installation packages. This makes it difficult to install
a snapshot from an FTP site; you have to enter the complete
URL manually. It would probably be a good thing to look
into /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/<platform> as well.
- On the snapshot sites ({releng*,current}.freebsd.org),
there's a directory /pub/FreeBSD/current which contains
some common stuff (XFree, compat22, packages). On the
main site (ftp.freebsd.org), the same is contained in
/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current, which in turn is a symlink
to branches/-current. It would make mirroring a lot
easier if the directories had been named the same on both
sites.
(Apart from that, I think it's not a good idea to start
a filename with "-".)
Regards
Oliver
