RSync Sources

[Mit Rowe]

Hi Paul!

>From my initial research, it would appear to me that you are perfectly
suited for a tier-1 mirror, which could possibly allow you to access
ftp-master via rsync.

You're already 'official' (ftp5.ca.freebsd.org) although the documentation
hasn't quite caught up to that yet.

Are you willing to allow others to mirror from you, and allow rsync
access? If so, and you feel you fit the requirements outlined in the
reference below, i'd recommend that you petition for Tier-1 status and
access to ftp-master, which would theoretically also add you to the rsync
ACL on that server.

Ref:
http://www.ca.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/hubs/mirror-official.html

If you decide to go that route, let me know and i'll sent a note to
mirror-admin on your behalf.
