Well I think it is worth noting that most presentations in the OpenBSD tree are done with magicpoint and are converted to HTML, not PDF. So, I think we should adapt something similar, because HTML is a lot more "repo-friendly". It is not just CVS bloat, it is that each time someone wants to sync up the doc tree, they will have to transfer the large binary files anew if there is even a very small change. Not everyone is using a broadband connection. I for one have mirrored the www tree for more than two years through a modem dialup which was billed by the minute. (Luckily no longer so...) Just a remark. Otherwise, I am very much in favor of such a repository! -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
