The following reply was made to PR ports/7270; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Stefan Esser <se@FreeBSD.ORG> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: ports/7270: ports/lang/dylan/files/d2c.gz.uu is Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 22:15:02 +0200 > ports/lang/dylan/files/d2c.gz.uu is a huge file and should not be part > of the ports distribution - it should be a distfile.

Oh well, that was the cause of the 26 100KB CTM mails I received :( It cost me some $2 (metered local phone call, not *that* much, but if you multiply by the number recipients that have to pay the same amount it will become a relevant number ...) and now I'm considering to unsubscribe from the CTM mail list before that file is removed again (which I'm afraid will cause another delta of the same size). Please somebody try to get rid of this file in such a way that it will not cause another flood of useless mail!
