* Please don't use the NO_PACKAGE as the criteria on weither the distfiles
* end up on the CDROM this time. Many distfiles where left off of the 2.0.5
* CDROM and it appears that this was used as the criteria for doing it. I
* already mentioned one to you that was this way in private email (elm) and
* just want to make sure that you have found a ``better'' criteria mechanism
* for what distfiles go on the cdrom.
It's not been the "criteria", Rod...it's only that there is no safe
and convenient mechanism other than "make package" to do the top-down
build. ;)
I'm planning to revamp the whole legal/commercial/slimey license
paradigm after 2.1 goes out. For instance, the ones that say "don't
sell for profit" can be on the ftp site as distfiles and packages.
* I don't have a list of ones I have run accross but I know there where at
* least 2 or 3 of them that the only reason they are not packages is because
* they have compiled in gunk that makes packaging them impractical.
*
* Seems here is yet another one :-).
For now, we need to figure this out case-by-case. Here is what I
found:

Which means, elm, gn, wn, inn, and XFree86 don't have distribution
problems. I've already fetched elm, wn and XFree86, can I do the same
for gn and inn? Maintainers? Adam & Torsten? :)
