Re: starting up new ftp mirror

Steven

Using the format

GC	USA
UF	ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/openbsd/
GI	Sandia National Labs
GT	Albuquerque
GS	NM
MN	Diana Eichert
ME	[email protected]

I can probably get the guy who runs this system to change
the toplevel dir from "openbsd" to "OpenBSD".

I read the reminder from alexander that "everything must be
accessible from /pub/OpenBSD/ whether that is the directory
name or a symlink is up to you".
However I noticed that several of the mirror sites listed on
the "Getting OpenBSD" page don't use "OpenBSD" in their
directory structure, nor does there appear to be a working
symlink.  So is this a requirement that's not enforced?

ok, looks good. where exactly is this mirror located? maybe you can
provide all relevant info like maintainer, contact address etc, like in
www/build/mirrors.dat
