If you are not running a mirror of the FreeDOS archive at ibiblio, you can safely skip this message.
Over the weekend, I took an opportunity to do a little cleanup on the FreeDOS archive at ibiblio, trying to make things easier to find. Mostly I'm eliminating any "old" directories in an "old" directory (and yes, we had quite a few of them). I'm not deleting anything, but I am renaming that ".../old/old" subdirectory and putting files in better-named subdirectories. Should make it easier for people browsing the archive to recognize old stuff from the new stuff, so they don't end up downloading something that's out of date. So if you are reading your rsync status emails, you'll notice a bunch of activity on ibiblio, probably lots of stuff being deleted from your local mirror and lots of other stuff being added. It's the same files under a different directory, so nothing really changes. If you are using the '--delete' option to rsync, you shouldn't see your space usage go up. Note that the ".../distributions/pre-1.0" directory is still unaccessible, so you will continue to see that error message from rsync (this is as-designed, please don't email me to report it). The ibiblio site owners are in the process of allocating new storage on their "really old distros" site, and have promised to move our "pre-1.0" FreeDOS distros there once the new storage is ready. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
