And has there been any discussion/consideration towards setting up a local portsnap mirror (even just a caching proxy)? And further to my verbal offer to Andrew, just to put it in writing - I have hardware that I'm happy to donate to the cause, they just need some hard drives thrown at them :) Cheers and beers Ra From thompsa at FreeBSD.org Mon Aug 13 05:04:32 2007 From: thompsa at FreeBSD.org (Andrew Thompson) Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 21:04:32 +1200 Subject: [nzfug-general] Hello NZFUG!

There is 22G free on the mirror box at Citylink. Im sure we can put more isos on it. > And has there been any discussion/consideration towards setting up a local > portsnap mirror (even just a caching proxy)? This would be cool, I have just started using portsnap and its quite good. I can talk to Colin about whats needed, I wouldnt want us to be put in the global mirror list as we are donated the traffic costs. I think a caching proxy would be best, if its possible. > And further to my verbal offer to Andrew, just to put it in writing - I have > hardware that I'm happy to donate to the cause, they just need some hard > drives thrown at them :) Anywhere to host it? :) Andrew From rawiri.blundell at ihug.co.nz Mon Aug 13 07:07:35 2007 From: rawiri.blundell at ihug.co.nz (Rawiri Blundell) Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 23:07:35 +1200 Subject: [nzfug-general] Hello NZFUG!

Excellent, the DBSD Mirroring information is here: http://desktopbsd.net/wiki/doku.php?id=doc:mirror_desktopbsd pfsense info here: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=InfraStructureTODO m0n0 doesn't seem to have anything similar at a glance, though it should be equally straightforward to setup an rsync once a source location is found. Or we could just do it all manually when suitable. I'm usually abreast of DBSD and pfsense, and to a much lesser scale m0n0... > > > And has there been any discussion/consideration towards setting up a > > local portsnap mirror (even just a caching proxy)? > > This would be cool, I have just started using portsnap and its quite > good.

The thing with portsnap is during the initial fetch-extract you're pulling down between 40 and 50megs, on peered connections that should just blaze domestically.

The zoneinfo has been updated on HEAD and will be also in RELENG_6 before 6.3 is released. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia.diff?r1=1.1.2.24;r2=1.1.2.25;f=h I think you can install ports/misc/zoneinfo to update any existing machines.
