The entire point of CTM is for those who either cannot use CVSup or find the long connect time too costly. The CTM updates require only a second or two of connect time. Some people pay dearly for EVERY second of connect time. And CTM also works over "sneaker-net" :-) Richard Wackerbarth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
