The export-restricted code for FreeBSD (eBones and secure) is available via CVSup at the following international repository. Please use this site to get the export-restricted code, if you are outside the USA or Canada.

The following CVSup site is especially designed for CTM users. Unlike the other CVSup mirrors, it is kept up-to-date by CTM. That means if you CVSup cvs-all with release=cvs from this site, you get a version of the repository (including the inevitable .ctm_status file) which is suitable for being updated using the CTM cvs-cur deltas. This allows users who track the entire cvs-all tree to go from CVSup to CTM without having to rebuild their repository from scratch using a fresh CTM base delta.

Please note that this special feature only works for the cvs-all distribution with cvs as the release tag. CVSupping any other distribution and/or release will get you the specified distribution, but it will not be suitable for CTM updating.

Also please note that, because the current version of CTM does not preserve the timestamps of files, the timestamps at this mirror site are not the same as those at other mirror sites. Switching between this site and other sites is not recommended. It will work correctly, but will be somewhat inefficient.
