Re: freebsd-update the src ?

After using the new portsnap utility for a while with great success, i
tried to update the (current) src tree with the
also new freebsd-update utility, but all i got (tried several times
within several weeks) is:

# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.


Did i miss something or isn't it just ready for use ?
Thanx in advance for any insight.

freebsd-update is a binary update tool which is typically used to do
binary updates, e.g. 6.1-p9 -> 6.1-p10, etc. I'm not sure whether it's
on Colin's world domination plan to have a src/ update as well :-)

I think the base version of freebsd-update would be ready (with
update.FreeBSD.org, of course) at the time we will release 6.2-R.
