And yet another people do NFS mount the directory from their local ftp mirror to their own machines. In this case, changing directory to symlink makes some troubles. If packages-4-stable becomes symlink (and don't turn back to directory) for now, that's OK. But symlink -> directory -> symlink -> directory -> ... never ending transition is unwelcome. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
