I'll try to make this brief. The situation as we currently see it today is this: 2.2.7-RELEASE alpha packages-3.0 2.2.8-RELEASE development packages-current 2.2.8-STABLE distfiles packages-current-aout 3.0-CURRENT docs packages-stable 3.0-RELEASE incoming ports CERT index.html ports-3.0 CTM ls-lR.gz ports-current CVSup mailing-lists ports-stable FreeBSD-CVS newsletter tools FreeBSD-current packages updates FreeBSD-stable packages-2.2.7 README packages-2.2.8 Finding this increasingly rather cluttered, I'd like to propose that we move to something more like this: README.TXT index.html releases/ README.TXT index.html 2.2.7-RELEASE/ 2.2.8-RELEASE/ 3.0-RELEASE/ README.TXT index.html axp/ x86/ 2.2.8-STABLE -> stable 3.0-CURRENT -> current current/ README.TXT index.html ports packages src stable/ README.TXT index.html ports packages src doc/ index.html INSTALL.TXT README.TXT HARDWARE.TXT UPGRADE.TXT etc... And that would be it for the top-level directory structure. The only part of this I have any reservations about myself is splitting 3.0-RELEASE into architecture subdirs, but I really don't see how we can get around that step without yuck-ifying our hierarchy even more as FreeBSD gets ported to other architectures (hey, they said it would never happen at all and now we run on the AXP - think towards the future! :). The index.html files I can also live without, but again, I'm think of how many people may be indexing the site these days and how they'll want to view it in the future.
