If these had been bzip2'ed, it :would have taken 843M. : :(The difference in GimpUserManual-PS-1.0.0 is 8M alone) : :-- :-- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) I, for one, don't see much point in saving 100MB out of a 950MB archive. If that is the only benefit bzip2 gives us, I'll stick with gzip and avoid yet another round of compatibility/release issues rearing their ugly head. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
