cvsup6.us.freebsd.org / /sysutils/fastest_cvsup
Greetings,
Recently there was a thread regarding cvsup6.us.freebsd.org
accepting connections, and offering no content, which breaks
fastest_cvsup.
I've done a little hacking on fastest_cvsup version 0.2.9
to enable verification of the desired collections existence.
Please see attached patch
