Here is a patch against handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml; if you wish, you can submit a doc PR with your request and the patch attached and see what happens: ---PATCH--------------------------------------------------------------- --- chapter.sgml Fri Nov 19 17:19:42 2004 +++ chapter.sgml.edit Sat Dec 11 09:03:25 2004 @@ -1143,6 +1143,10 @@ <command>cvsup</command>, you can override the host setting on the command line, with <option>-h <replaceable>hostname</replaceable></option>.</para> + + <para>A program in the <literal>ports</literal> collection, + <filename>/usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup</filename>, + may assist in choosing a server near you.</para> </listitem> <listitem> ---PATCH---------------------------------------------------------------- If you submit such a PR, be sure and start the subject line with the string "[PATCH]", as it helps the guys to find the "mostly done" PR's more easily ... ;-) Have a good day!
