That's only 217M, so there's no much problem. Thanks a lot, Dmitry. Are you planning to keep this distfiles mirror up-to-date till the 01.01.2012? I think I'll also fetch newer distfiles for the software I've mirrored if there are any, for the case some ports (not on the latest versions currently) are updated. Beyond that, I think only a final check in late December will be needed to ensure the mirror is complete, as live projects will move to other hostings and dead project will not release any new versions. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ruhttp://www.amdmi3.ru ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
