I noticed that many packages shrunk dramatically during the last build. It seems like the older ones have lots of duplicates inside. For example: ===== asami(p8) freefall 67 06:02:04 /net/thud/e/ports/old.packages/.packages >> tar tvzf ytalk-3.0.2.tgz -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 69 Apr 22 12:06 1995 +COMMENT -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 122 Apr 22 12:06 1995 +CONTENTS -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 260 Apr 22 12:06 1995 +DESC drwxrwxrwx root/ports 0 Apr 22 12:06 1995 bin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/ports 61440 Apr 22 12:06 1995 bin/ytalk -rwxr-xr-x root/ports 61440 Apr 22 12:06 1995 bin/ytalk drwxrwxrwx root/ports 0 Apr 22 12:06 1995 man/ drwxrwxrwx root/ports 0 Apr 22 12:06 1995 man/man1/ -rw-r--r-- root/ports 5001 Apr 22 12:06 1995 man/man1/ytalk.1.gz drwxrwxrwx root/ports 0 Apr 22 12:06 1995 man/man1/ -rw-r--r-- root/ports 5001 Apr 22 12:06 1995 man/man1/ytalk.1.gz -rw-r--r-- root/ports 5001 Apr 22 12:06 1995 man/man1/ytalk.1.gz ===== This is why emacs and its friends are 30MBish. This doesn't seem to be happening to the newer (i.e., built in the last couple of days) packages. I don't know where the bug was (kernel, tar, pkg_create), but I thought I'd warn everybody on the bleeding edge. Sorry for the wide distribution. I'm now running a rm -rf on wcarchive. Satoshi
