I read somewhere there is a tool to find the best cvsup server, but i dont know anymore what it was ?
Well, I don't know if it finds the **best**, but:
[179] Sat 11.Dec.2004 8:47:51 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/usr/ports] make search name=fastest_cvsup Port: fastest_cvsup-0.2.8 Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup Info: Finds fastest CVSup server Maint: [EMAIL PROTECTED] B-deps: perl-5.8.5 R-deps: perl-5.8.5
also can someone add that tool to the cvsup handbook on the freebsd.org site please
Hmm, interesting idea. Here is a patch against handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml; if you wish, you can submit a doc PR with your request and the patch attached and see what happens:

If you submit such a PR, be sure and start the subject line with the string "[PATCH]", as it helps the guys to find the "mostly done" PR's more easily ... ;-)
Have a good day!
