I don't think so, but others might disagree. Any repocopy does this. :) Moving sysintall put an 8 MB load on all the cvsup servers, but I didn't get any big cries of objection to that. > The src/sys tree is slowly migrating.

Don't quite parse this, are you saying that src/sys changes will eventually cost more in forms of repo-bloat than the picobsd move? If so, then I agree. Of course, I have a somewhat cock-eyed view of what I would like src/sys to look like: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/sysorg.txt. > Mostly I was pointing out the cost of the simple mv.

Ideally, IMO, src/release should be a place to stick stuff used for building releases, not a dumping ground. This is one of the reasons (among others) that I moved sysinstall to src/usr.sbin/, as it is not a release-only tool. Others have pointed out that picoBSD is just another form of distributing code like the normal releases. I personally feel that they are apples and oranges, but not everyone will agree. > Warner -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
