Speaking of sizes and ports, is anyone else totally sick of the ungodly
number of files in /usr/ports? It to me is absolutely disgusting. It takes
several minutes to to any type of "find" in /usr because of them.
My fix is to have a separate partition for /usr/ports and have it noauto
in fstab. But couldn't we fix the problem but using a single .tgz file for
each port instead of its own directory tree?
I think RedHat Linux uses something similar. If we need a different
format, fine. But having a _TREE_ for each port is freaking ridiculous.
Regards,
Kevin
