I haven't read all of the discussion regarding the ports tree remake, so this could be totally useless. My intent is for this to be a short term, easy to implement, band-aid(TM). Since people complain about the number of inodes that the ports tree uses I was thinking that maybe the pkg/DESCR and pkg/COMMENT files could be combined. Since the COMMENT file is usually only one line it seems that that one line could easily be made the very first line of DESCR. Now obviously this only saves one inode per port, but when you have over 3000 ports it starts to add up. Is this something that could be done while we're waiting for the new reincarnation of the ports tree? -Brandon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
