Note that there is no 'Australian FreeBSD group'. I suspect the Oz CVSup mirrors are being maintained by individuals associated with the organisations hosting the servers. cvsup.au.freebsd.org does appear to be serving broken data. Possibly cvsup2.au.freebsd.org does a better job (if not, it should be possible to identify the maintainer of the latter mirror via his maintainership of dns/dnscheck and several other ports). >We have had some major failures and non reachable admins in germany as >well, but after some resonable timeout the domain admins just took >the required steps to take them out of public access. Unfortunately, the au.freebsd.org admins are very difficult to contact - it recently took several months of attempts via several different channels to get another sub-domain updated. -- Peter
