It's 2 1/3 year ago that the current model of CTM was first run and distributed to a select handfull of testers. Sometime in the next couple of hours we will see cvs-cur.3000.gz be generated. When I started on CTM, only a few of the freebsd hackers had TCP/IP connectivity and Jordan paid a fortune for it over in Ireland. Today everybody and his mother has IP connectivity, but there seem to be a market for batched and emailed updates still, although interest is measurably dwindling. How's that for a success :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
