Ok, here's the scenario: Developer installs latest 2.1R using the CDROM for speed and ease-of-use. Since developer IS a developer, they select "src" as one of the distributions and come up with the whole thing on their disk. Then they proceed further into the post-install setup menu and they select Using Current Sources->Using CTM->Register With CTM. Now what? They get the *entire* source tree again via mail so that they can be sync'd up? That'd suck! At least sup, again, would merely update the timestamps after seeing that the files were the same. Is it possible to do something similar with CTM? Ideally, you'd want to connect to CTM for the first time and say (completely transparently, mind you) "I have 2.1R - give me everything that changed after 2.1R came out and keep me up-to-date from now on!" and it would just work. C'mon, CTM fans! This is the chance for your wonderful tool to get serious mainstream use, but we need to make it sing and dance just a little more to truly be a "plug n play" part of the installation (and it really SHOULD be - it's so close as it is now!).. Thanks..! Jordan
