I'm sorry folks, but the ports/packages collection has gotten so huge that it's now displaced the gzip'd CVS repository trees I've been putting on the 1st CDROM. There's just no room left. Despite what all the hackers may think, I feel that the ports/packages still represent better value than the CVS repository so there's no question in my mind about which bits get precedence, the question being more one of "what do we do now for the CVS repository fans?" I can get the repository onto a single CD still, so perhaps the answer is to offer it as a periodically updated companion CDROM? I know that folks getting sources this way would want it more often than the releases (say 4 times a year instead of twice a year), so this makes more sense than pressuring Walnut Creek CDROM into going to a 4 CD set right now. That's expensive, and I'd rather not cross that bridge until we truly need *4* CDs. :-) Comments? Jordan
