From a message circulated on the Free Sklyarov mailing list:
"...We need volunteers in many countries to mirror
current distributions, CVS trees, etc. We need volunteers to also
act as maintainers, accepting patches and integrating them into
solid releases.
(Note that too many countries have pledged to stand toe-to-toe
with the US while they march off to make war on somebody they can't
figure out who it is yet. If you live in one of those countries,
you may suddenly find that your own crypto regs have been sneakily
altered. Take care that each useful package has maintainers and
distribution points in diverse countries.)
I haven't kept close track of which packages are in danger. I
suggest that people nominate packages on this mailing list, and
that others immediately grab mirror copies of them as they are
nominated. And that some of those who mirror them keep quiet, in
case hysterical governments make a concerted effort to stamp out
all copies and/or all major distribution sites. If you aren't the
quiet type, then *AFTER* IMMEDIATELY PULLING A COPY OF THE CODE
OUTSIDE US JURISDICTION, announce your mirror on this mailing
list."
