I think it's for history and convenience, mostly. Not everybody has cvsup available, and sometimes people who aren't part of the FreeBSD community may wish to look at our source code. On ftp5 I don't keep the CVS tree -- public access to that is better provided through CVSweb -- but I do have the branch sources which can be more convenient (if you're trying to grab all the files in a particular directory) than going through CVSweb. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
