There general strategy is to provide deltas from the CD's. This may even make sense as in ctmdelta (CD:src, Freefall:cvs) but I havn't tested that yet. Yes, that delta is big, and unhandy, so make a backup when you have it, and never loose it again. Maybe we will start to put something on the CD's to make this less painfull. Remember with SUP you would be pulling all of his every time we tag the tree... If a bunch of people would take over the role of driving force for CTM I would support them as best I can, I don't have the time to drive that too right now... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
