Additionally, I use a script which applies the deltas and filters out changes and local modifications. I am doing it this way since FreeBSD-2.1.5 ;-). A few years ago, there was some disruption in the delta generation and I had to use CVSup at home and carry stuff over at work temporarily. It was a big hack and luckily delta generation was restored. This showed me how much I loved CTM ;-). If CTM went away the world would not end but I would miss it heavily for sure. Thanks a lot for all your efforts being put into CTM! -Andre > probably be for me to setup something fairly similar to a CTM server > at home and mail it to work. > > As for formally taking over CTM, I don't think I'm in a position to > do so but would appreciate some more details: > - How much disk space is required? > - How resource intensive is building the deltas?
