What's the goal of > this movement? Simple (hell, at least I think so) :) 1. "Doing our bit" to clean up the mess that is distfiles/* 2. Reducing download time for people who compile from source by using bzip2 distfiles wherever possible 3. Follow my prototypical behavior for gnome2, which I imagine will coexist beside gnome 1.x for some time (ie: lets at least get the current gnome2 ports up and running so they can be played with by FreeBSD people - the more FreeBSD people we get playing with it, the more influence the OS has on the project). -aDe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
