Description Kylen 2018-12-23 20:44:01 UTC 
Hello BSD people,

It seems to me that the file "doc.txz" did not sync on mirror or somethink in script goes wrong...becouse look : 


https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/12.0-RELEASE/doc.txz.empty_archive
doc.txz.empty_archive	180	2018-Dec-07 05:04
MD5 (doc.txz.empty_archive) = d6ff84bec30786fe321ac18e2103e578

icm.edu.pl: //ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/12.0-RELEASE/doc.txz
doc.txz	07-Dec-2018 05:04	180	 
MD5 (doc.txz) = d6ff84bec30786fe321ac18e2103e578


The file has a bad name, please verify.

Greetings,
Kylen

This appears to be true for all archs for 12.0R.

I am part of RE@ so remove myself from the CC list.

The file doc.txz was renamed to doc.txz.empty_archive to try and help with an issue that iocage had in that it does not properly process the MANIFEST file, but rather globs the directory.  Arguable that is a bug in iocage and should of been handled there and there only.

It appears as if some of the mirrors do NOT use a remove if gone on master type mirroring which means this rename has ended up creating mirrors with both files on it.

We are gong to need to reach out to these mirrors and have them manually remove the doc.txz file to correct this issue.

Glen?

Oops, meant to post the corrected URL in my last comment:

ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/12.0-RELEASE/

If I understand it right, it works as intended - there is no doc.txz anymore.
