I have thought of suggesting we import Bzip2 (it is under an MIT/CMU/UCB license, not GLP) switch from .tgz for packages to .tbz. But don't care to fight that battle. ;-) I have found the current split of packages between CD #1 and CD #3 to be a pain. Ex: ImageMagic on CD #3 depends on stuff on CD #1, which I never seem to install until ImageMagic demands it. And my two most used ports, vim5 and mutt are on CD #3 and aren't in sysinstall's listing of ports. BUT, I don't have any ideas how to do a better job than Steve did. So I haven't brought this up before. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
