On January 12 (Fri), the NetBSD SUP/FTP server configuration will
switch as follows:

FTP:
- ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/
	switches from netbsd-1-5 branch to main trunk (NetBSD-1.5Q or later)
- ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release/
	disappears
- ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-1-5/
	appears as netbsd-1-5 branch (NetBSD-1.5.1_ALPHA)
- ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-1-4/
	appears as netbsd-1-4 branch (NetBSD-1.4.3A)

SUP:
- "current" collection
	switches from netbsd-1-5 branch to main trunk (NetBSD-1.5Q or later)
- "release" collection
	disappears
- "release-1-5" collection
	appears as netbsd-1-5 branch (NetBSD-1.5.1_ALPHA)
- "release-1-4" collection
	appears as netbsd-1-4 branch (NetBSD-1.4.3A)

You will likely transfer many files due to this change.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
For those who use the "all" or "all-export" release of the SUP
"mirror" collection, please use the "-o" option for the "sup" command
or use "old" option for your SUP configuration file, at the first
SUP transfer after the switch.
Also, I do not recommend renaming the existing directories
for those "all" or "all-export" users, unless you are understanding
how SUP works (If you will rename the existing directories,
you have to re-create SUP "last" file).

Sorry for the delay of switching.
