There is a flurry of activity due to so many committers working on getting -2.2 and -2.1.6 released. > Also, what are some other up-to-date CVSup servers? Personally, I use cvsup2.freebsd.org. It gets updated 4 times per day, so it's only 3 hours out-of-date on average (6 hours maximum). Very few people need to be more current than that. As the guy who watches the log files for both systems, I can tell you that cvsup2 is seriously underused. I've never seen it max out on the number of simultaneous clients. Traditionally, the weakness of our mirror system has been that the mirrors haven't always kept themselves up to date in terms of new collections that have been added. For example, cvsup2 didn't pick up "ports-all" quickly enough after it was added. I am working on an automatic update system to eliminate that problem. The only current problem I know of with cvsup2 is that it didn't yet have the "src-all" collection, last time I checked. So you have to list the individual collections that make up src-all. Other than that, I've always had good luck with it. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
