That FreeBSD-archive would store "old" FreeBSD bits (what's > old and what's not?). Maybe that archive could also include the port > distfiles. i would say a Tier-2 Official FreeBSD mirror could be defined as: o carrying FreeBSD release trees (3 releases including the latest?) o carrying FreeBSD releases ISOs (3 ?) o carrying FreeBSD packages o carrying FreeBSD security (aka CERT) o carrying FreeBSD docs o must be up to date with all of the above to within 48 hours ? and that would meet the minimum requirements of what 75% of the general population want - a site to download or install FreeBSD from. this would not stop Tier-2s from carrying additional content such as o FreeBSD distfiles o FreeBSD branches source tree o FreeBSD CVSup source tree o FreeBSD CTM source tree o FreeBSD misc/development content o FreeBSD archive releases o FreeBSD SNAP releases Of course there are a number of official FreeBSD mirrors now that can only carry a partial release tree (only the latest releases or a specific architecture, usually i386), so we'd have to think about how that could fit into things as a Tier-2. comments ? -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
