No Australian Subversion Repository Mirror [was: Australian Subversion Repository Mirror]

Hello Simon
Hello Edwin

I have put Edwin Groothuis into To:, as he seems to run this 
stats server.

About the CVSup Modules, it seems that this it is not updated any 
more on the master, see [1]:

modules 	1.21550 	7 weeks 	edwin 	Ports modules update at Monday

Also the DNS SOA check is not perfect. It seems that it does not 
support (or honor) IPv6 only entries, see e.g. for CH - 
Switzerland [1], the zone I run.

I have the following entries in ch.freebsd.org for MX, which does 
work perfectly to deliver e-mails:

fabian at flashback:~ $ host -t mx ch.freebsd.org
ch.freebsd.org mail is handled by 10 mail.home4u.ch.
ch.freebsd.org mail is handled by 20 deja-vu.home4u.ch.
ch.freebsd.org mail is handled by 30 deja-vu.ip6.home4u.ch.

fabian at flashback:~ $ host mail.home4u.ch.
mail.home4u.ch has address 62.12.173.2
mail.home4u.ch has IPv6 address 2001:8a8:1005:1::2

fabian at flashback:~ $ host deja-vu.home4u.ch.
deja-vu.home4u.ch has address 62.2.85.178

fabian at flashback:~ $ host deja-vu.ip6.home4u.ch.
deja-vu.ip6.home4u.ch has IPv6 address 2001:8a8:1005:2::178

@Edwin, is this something which could fixed in the tests with 
also doing a look up for AAAA entries? This does even work when 
the system doing the check does not use IPv6.


bye
