[BUGS] Pacific.net.au FreeBSD mirror

[Edwin Groothuis]

While trying to figure out why the FreeBSD distributions were not
updated on the Australian mirrors, the pacific.net.au mirror
(ftp3.au.freebsd.org) got taken offline:

    The FreeBSD directory was deleted this morning, literally an
    hour before your message came in, when our arrays ran out of
    space.

But....

    I don't have much time to dedicate to this, but if you could
    provide me with a <200GB subset of FreeBSD available from a
    reliable rsync target, we could probably mirror FreeBSD again.

Based on the data ofhttp://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/hubs/mirror-requirements.html,
the full repository is about 400 Gb (that is included packages,
distfiles, snapshots and others).

    general:
	CERT                          31,690	*
	branches                     389,668	*
	development                7,723,476	*
	doc                        2,486,522	*

    distfiles:
	ports/distfiles           83,603,896	*
	ports/local-distfiles      4,247,132	*

    ISOs:
	releases                  29,880,336	*
	snapshots                 41,272,204

    packages:
	ports/amd64               62,582,866
	ports/i386                70,881,696
	ports/ia64                35,418,152
	ports/sparc64             47,143,248

The ones with a * behind it are the important ones (from my point
of view) and I will tell them that these are the ones they should
mirror.

If I have made a mistake in my observations, then this is the moment
to reply to me :-)
