Just to follow up on this, I found a very similar problem reported to  
this list some time ago, but with no responses:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.current/94159


I've been able to locate the source of the problem. My attempts to  
csup the source tree have been failing since I used  
cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org and that is returning some broken code. Changing  
to cvsup.FreeBSD.org and updating, then building and everything is  
gorgeous.

So cvsup.au.freebsd.org is definitely returning broken results, but  
there is no indication that it is broken, until I thought it  
suspicious that nothing had been committed in the last 24 hours  
according to its output. Obviously maintaining a set of mirrors  
around the world is a difficult task - is there someone I should  
alert to this problem? Is there some way for users to check the  
reliability of these mirrors other than to just always use the master  
server (which I guess puts too much load on it).



Thanks
Ari Maniatis
