First - for a little while today a 5.3 package set was accidentally put in ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/packages/* instead of being ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/*. If you use rsync and if you have the extra packages sub-directory you can save a re-download by manually moving it before your next rsync run. I have had horrible results whenever I have manually moved stuff around in a site when using cvsup to mirror it because of the cached sup information it keeps but if you have had better luck than me with that you also might want to try the move. Typically I don't recommend people manually move stuff around in a site maintained by cvsup though, if the sup cached info does manage to get out of sync it can get ugly. For cvsup it is probably best to just let it re-download. Sorry for the inconvenience. And we're starting to get ready for the 5.3 release. As most of you know this coming weekend should be RC1. And if it goes well the following weekend will be the release. The 5.3-release package sets will be showing up slowly through the next while. We also removed the 5.1-RELEASE bits (both the install bits and the packages), as well as the Alpha packages-5-current (which is no longer being built on a regular basis since it's now a Tier-2 architecture, and a recent shared libraries version number bump makes the packages that had been there useless). As always thanks for your support. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
