They are responsible for a health of our cvs repo, and probably know better whether the inodes bloat is worth addessing or not. If you really want to save some space convince obrien to remove gcc.295 gdb.291 libio.295 libobjc.295 libstdc++.295 from src/contrib - that will easily save you about 50MB of disk space and huge number of inodes. ;) -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
