However this brings up the question again of should we go to svn in ports? I recall discussing this at BSDCan 2009. Having performed the conversion of ports to svn just a month prior to that, I noticed the ports tree had grown to over 15 GB at the time. IIRC the CVS tree was just over 3 GB at that time. At present the repos are: cwsys# zfs list -r dsk01/repos NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT dsk01/repos 11.0G 89.8G 22K none dsk01/repos/fcvs 5.71G 89.8G 2.63G /opt/fcvs dsk01/repos/fgnats 1.21G 89.8G 878M /opt/fgnats dsk01/repos/fsvn 4.04G 89.8G 3.38G /opt/fsvn cwsys# zfs get compressratio dsk01/repos NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE dsk01/repos compressratio 1.73x - cwsys# df -h /opt/f* Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on dsk01/repos/fcvs 92G 2.6G 89G 3% /opt/fcvs dsk01/repos/fgnats 90G 877M 89G 1% /opt/fgnats dsk01/repos/fsvn 93G 3.4G 89G 4% /opt/fsvn cwsys# Space was a big factor. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
