Yes I've run into this myself with the i386 releases. For release candidates and such, I've taken to downloading just what I need to (packages) and then rebuilding my own release to match the one built remotely on the freebsd-current.sentex.ca machines. I then assemble the ISO image on my local network and test it, and if it is OK, I assemble the ISO image on freebsd-current.sentex.ca the same way. I would be uncomfortable doing that for the absolutely final release, but for release candidates and things where getting the release into peoples hands quickly is imperative, I think it works well. It saves 5 hours or so of transferring the output of make release from my home network to ftp-master, but I still have to download the packages if I want to test those with the release. Obviously, this model is ideal if your downstream is quicker than your upstream connection. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
