Believe me, bzip2 is not going to solve this sort * of problem. I know about that, but that doesn't stop us from going to a more efficient compressing algorithm (assuming the speed/memory consumption problem is not too bad). The savings are proportional to the total size of the collection, and that's a good 10% saved any day. On the other hand, I don't see much point in the "should we mark the gimp PS manual NO_CDROM" debate. The amount saved is fixed, and the old axiom applies. We already have Steve trimming things out as (un)necessary, you should just leave this stuff to him. Setting it NO_CDROM is going to remove any possibility of it showing up for future releases even if we have enough space (hey Jordan, when are we going to that 10-CD set?) -W To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
