> In this new structure where would fit what used to be packages-2.2.7, > packages-2.2.8 and packages-3.0 ? They would live under the release dirs or, in the case of a "branch" set, under the branch subdirs. I'll paste in a current outline of the proposed changes below, just in case this is confusing. > What about the snapshots ? There will be a snapshots/ directory or it will > be under the current/, stable/ or releases/ directories ? Snapshots won't be distributed from ftp.cdrom.com anymore unless there's something special about one of them. I want to leave this to the current.freebsd.org/releng22.freebsd.org/??? servers which are dedicated to the purpose. If a snapshot ever does appear on ftp.cdrom.com, it will be under snapshot/ at the top level. > Is there a way to organize that so we can keep only ONE copy of XFree > for each version of FreeBSD (2.2.x and 3.x) ? For me the old symbolic link Nope! Different binary types, for one thing, and some special customizations which only we make for another. > And last, where will be the commerce and xperimnt ?

They will live under the branch trees and be pointed at by the various releases that wish to do so. Anyway, here's the latest revision of my proposed reorg: README.TXT index.html releases/ README.TXT index.html 2.2.7-RELEASE/ <stays the same> 2.2.8-RELEASE/ <stays the same> 3.0-RELEASE/ <stays the same> 3.0.1-RELEASE/ README.TXT index.html axp/ x86/ 2.2.8-STABLE -> ../2.2-branch 3.0-CURRENT -> ../3.0-branch 3.0-branch/ README.TXT index.html ports packages src commerce xperimnt 2.2-branch/ README.TXT index.html ports packages src commerce xperimnt doc/ ... distfiles/ .. distfiles ..
