backpan has latest packages as well, so it's not an added failure mode. I hope the added load from RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES users is miniscule for backpan. In fact that was my biggest worry... In the case of when the file is only on backpan, I assume you can do no worse than normal? Either way, it's still better than the situation without backpan. -- Lars Balker Rasmussen Consult::Perl _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
