Just FYI...
We had several excellent candidates for ftp7.freebsd.org this time
around. Those of you who were not chosen please do not be discouraged.
We wanted another non-USA site this time to begin spreading things
around a bit. In the end the decision was made based on ping-times
from Buffalo, California, and Japan which is certainly not a perfect
way to handle it but for now it will do. Thanks again to everyone
who made the offer.
As of last night the USA based ftpX.freebsd.org sites got copied so
you are also ftpX.us.freebsd.org (where, for your site, X will be the
same).
For those of you who do carry the branches/ stuff, you should notice
that it is now going away. It's not completely gone yet (still some
stuff in branches/-current) but it should be soon.
At this point I don't consider the Mirror Site Requirements discussion
settled but I leave for a 1-week vacation tomorrow so that will be on hold
for a while. It's not a huge rush - I just consider it part of that
first assignment Jun gave me (update the hubs article) so I won't be
done with my first task until that gets settled. I need to learn how
to update the list of FTP mirrors in sysinstall anyway so I will probably
invest some time in improving it. If nothing else I'd like to relax the
"/pub/FreeBSD" thing to the point it is "desired" instead of "required".
If doing more than just that doesn't seem too difficult maybe we can
do something with the suggestion of setting up DNS to help locate the
desired architectures.
