Greetings,

I'm very happy to know that you're investigating the missing
timestamp.chk problem. Is there anyway that we, mirror sysadmins, can
help in that task?

Also, our mirror (rsync://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/gentoo-portage) is not
listed at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors-rsync.xml . Is there any
problem?

Best regards,
