The syncronization between myself and the ports/packages team has gotten harder with each progressive release and I've complained to you before about the difficulties and confusion in syncronization. For the next release, it's going to be one of the 3 following choices for me: 1. I take over the building of packages myself so that I have more control over when/where/how the packages are built. 2. This system of building packages is automated in a similar fashion to the current.freebsd.org server so that some FTP site can simply be mirrored by anyone wishing to build a CD (and as I'm not the only person building CDs, this would probably be the most general solution). 3. We stop distributing packages and distfiles on CD, doing just the ports collection and letting folks use the net to grab packages or distfiles. The current system is no longer workable, I'm no longer willing to do things "the old way" - it's going to be one of these 3 options for 3.0 / 2.2.6. Jordan
