In the third edition, it is: Component | Size (MB) --------------------------------------- Repository: src/sys | 53 Repository: src | 330 Repository: ports | 36 Source tree: /usr/src/sys | 65 Source tree: /usr/src | 225 Source tree: /usr/ports | 200 Object tree: src | 160 I don't understand why the source tree figures are larger than the repository figures. Surely the source trees are created from the repository ( via RCS/CVS ) and so are _smaller_ that the repository trees ? ( Because the repository includes the information for _all_ versions, and in the source tree you've just checked out one version ).
