Why didn't you consider changing cvsup servers instead of waiting 2
days?  Remember, they should all be (more or less) identical, but my
previous paragraph ("...they only sync with cvsup-master every so
often...") still applies.

Also just going to throw this out there as a data point: if you ever
continually have problems with a cvsup mirror, please mail freebsd-hubs
about it.  I know in this thread you weren't sure if the mirror was the
problem or what, but I'm just saying that if you encounter problems
where you think the mirror might be responsible, freebsd-hubs is the
place.  The mirror maintainers do read that list, but sometimes take a
couple days to respond (which is too long if you ask me).
