That's a shitload of stuff to download over my pitiful 28.8 line -- just so I can look at binutils/ld sources. May I suggest that the toolchain be split out of scontrib? That's still not optimal because the gcc part of the toolchain is huge, but it'd be better than being forced to get sources for things like awk, amd, bind, and a whole slew of other things I'm (and perhaps other people are) not interested in. (Might be the person who wants bind/named sources doesn't want to be forced to get the gcc sources?) Perhaps stoolchgcc, stoolchmisc, and scontrib with everything that's not in stoolchgcc and stoolchmisc? Yeah, I could untar scontrib on a machine on the other side of my 28.8 connection and extract just the bits I want. I could. But I think scontrib has reached the point where it needs to be split up. -- Kaleb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
