Hi, John: I really like what you did and it is really convenient for users in China. All could be benefit for all you did.
Right now, a lot of 3rd party organizations also have their own IPS server(e.g., blastwave,sunfreeware). We also can find a lot of interesting tools which are used broadly. Could you set up a mirror for them in China, like what you did for (pkg.opensolaris.org)? It will greatly add popularity and arouse interest in Chinese user group. I believe. I am not sure it is legal or feasible, but only an advice. Thanks Jason James Cornell wrote: > I completely understand your reasoning. Large nations should establish > their own mirrors to help.
