Hello,
Probably the wrong mailinglist.
But portsnap is not updating since a few days while there are commits on
the ports tree. [1]
After some searching I found I am not the only one. Apparently there is
maintenance being done on the servers.
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-ports at freebsd.org/msg45395.html
I read a lot of blogs/RSS/etc. Nowhere any signs of maintenance on the
servers. What is wrong with announcing these things on for example
www.freebsd.org?
NB: I know it is voluntary work, thanks for doing it.
Regards,
Ronald.
