There's no intention to make it an automated process at this time. At this time I expect a new snapshot whenever there's a machine that cannot use 5.0-RELEASE or the latest snapshot for a successful installation. > o total size of the snapshot, broken down > > - disk space for isos (how many?) At first only miniinst.iso (300MB rounded up). I think a renegotiation is a good idea if the need arises to make more ISOs available. > - disk space for release tree Not planned. If user demand is high we can renegotiate. > - disk space for package tree Not planned. Again, if user demand is high this can be renegotiated. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
