The last AMD64 -current ISO on snapshots.se and snapshots.jp was in
October, if I'm looking at the right directories.  A month and a half is
hardly an "oversight", since October isn't even in the 6.0 timeframe.
Maybe terminology has changed since summer, but all the -current
sources peter out at the end of October, and no 6.0 build seems to
have ever worked on snapshots.se, to judge from the log files.
I'd like some help with AMD64 -current, yes AMD64 6.0-current.
Am I making this clear???

I haven't played with -current since before the switch to 6.0
as -current, so the last ISO I used (and still have) is a 5.x-current
from July.  I want a clean AMD64 6.0-current ISO to start with, and that
would presumedly be AFTER November 05, preferably very recent...

The information isn't IN the handbook, or is obscure.  If it was
there to read, I wouldn't have asked the list.  Duh.
Since I mentioned cvsup you might/maybe get the idea that I know
how to use it.  Duh.

Since I can't find the snapshots where they are expected,
they might be somewhere else, and I'd probably need to cvsup from
somewhere else, too, which is why I asked.  Duh.

Would somebody that actually uses -current on AMD64 tell me
how to get a recent ISO, and which servers are carrying the
AMD 6.0-current branch so I can cvsup updates?

Please don't reply to the list if you don't know what the hell
I'm asking about.
