In fact, I'd no intention of even putting a -current packages collection up for the FTP SNAP (I've never made a practice of doing this up to now, after all), and was doing it only for the CD because a CD has all that space left over.. I think that trying to syncronize the SNAPs and the packages collection is a bit insane, actually, and I'd be perfectly happy just to copy the 2.1-RELEASE packages dir onto all of them and make sure that a compat21 distribution gets put together. > By the way, when is the deadline for the CD?

I wouldn't waste the effort, to be honest. I'm going to be doing this too often for you to ever have a hope of keeping something as huge as the packages collection in sync, so why set a precedent you won't be able to keep? > Hee hee, you are the one who's confused, why should I care what you > call the directories on the CD? :) You shouldn't. :-) Believe me, if I thought that a -current version of the packages collection to go along with each SNAP CD was a practical goal, I'd have been talking to you a lot sooner than this!
