Hello,
  am I the only one, who has problems with automatic cvsup update
since your changes? Here is error from cvsup, which stops cvsup from
data synchronization:

Symlink FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current -> packages-5.1-release
Updater failed: Cannot install "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD-archive.all/FreeBSD/ports/i386/#cvs.cvsup-42024.384" to "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD-archive.all/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current": Is a directory

It seems that you have replaced packages-5-current directory to
the symlink in a very short time? I think that this is the case which
cvsup (and maybe rsync too) does not handle very well. Atleast on
ftp-master.cz.FreeBSD.org I had to
rm -r FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current by hand.

Please, who is responsible about ftp-master.FreeBSD.org hardware?
Does anybody plan disk capacity upgrade on this server this/next year?
We want to upgrade ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org this year and it would be great
to know, what disk capacity we should buy and install.

Thanks.
