On ftp.freebsd.org and ftp6.freebsd.org, there are a number of "truncated packages" (incomplete package .tgz files). I have a cron job that downloads selected new packages, and it's noticing that a number of new freebsd packages are MUCH smaller than before; spot-checking some from ftp.freebsd.org shows that these files are obviously truncated (and are thus unusable). Here's a partial list output from my cron job; the number before "(remote)" is the size on ftp.freebsd.org, and the number before "(local)" is the "old size" (the size of an older copy of the file on my local disk): Size diff: "dist/All/AbiWord-0.9.6.1_1.tgz": 8704 (remote) vs 7621132 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/ddd-3.3.tgz": 16896 (remote) vs 2495234 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/dictd-database-20010416_1.tgz": 80384 (remote) vs 29214892 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/emacs-21.1_5.tgz": 39424 (remote) vs 15567029 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/gcc30-3.0.2.tgz": 37376 (remote) vs 11245857 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/gimp-1.2.2_1,1.tgz": 6656 (remote) vs 7809660 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/lesstif-0.91.8.tgz": 80384 (remote) vs 2525874 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/qt-2.3.1_1.tgz": 8704 (remote) vs 9869728 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/qt-static-2.3.1_1.tgz": 27136 (remote) vs 7489599 (local) Size diff: "dist/All/teTeX-1.0.7.tgz": 18944 (remote) vs 38717508 (local) As much as I'd love to think that gcc and emacs can each be compressed to under 40KB, it's wishful thinking. ;-( For that matter, what happened to all of the kde and gnome packages (the main ones are missing)?
