Hi,
Wouldn't it be a good idea to modify the ports system to support a gzipped
pkg-plist file, and perhaps others too? I'm working on a port for the JDK 1.2
documentation, and the pkg-plist file is 300 K !!! Even if ppl would not
install this port, the 300 K would still be used.
We could decrease the space needed for the ports collection dramatically,
without sacrificing any i-nodes.
/Ernst
