Re: 5.0-RELEASE ports.tgz file missing?

Hi,

I heard from several friends who did FTP installs of 5.0-RELEASE, that
the installer was unable to install the ports collection. So I checked
the various FTP sites, and to my amazement I couldn't find the
ports.tgz file on any of them!

See for example:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RELEASE/ports/
  ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RELEASE/ports/

or any other FreeBSD mirror sites. It is also the case for other
architectures.

However, on the 5.0-RELEASE i386 install CD I have here, there is such
a ports directory, with a ports.tgz file (and accompanying
CHECKSUM.MD5 and install.sh files).

Is this a deliberate omission on the FTP servers?

Cheers,

Fixed on ftp-master, so it should work it's way out to the mirrors over the next few days. I'm not sure if this is an accidental or intended breakage of the release scripts, but many previous releases on FreeBSD have the ports directory in the FTP distro.
