Oh, no. I didn't intend to imply that the ports system should be capable of working with arbitrary checkouts. That would be very unlikely indeed. I think that ports would usually just follow tagged releases, as they do now. They still have to work with the tarball releases, after all. No, I was just suggesting that, come release time, a "cvs co -rFOO_TAG" might result in lower download time/space than grabbing the entire tarball. I guess that there could easily be room, then, for super-keen port maintaners to have a separate -nightly version of the port, but even that would have to be based on a time-stamped check-out. It also doesn't seem terribly likely for the bhemoths that I was initially thinking about, either. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
