* From: Sue Blake <sue@welearn.com.au> I don't know how the CDs are split up, but I can answer some general questions. * 1. Will this work for recent and future CDs too? Will packages/Latest * be found on CD1 for all versions over, say, the past year and the first * half of next year? If so I can spend time working with what I've got There is no plan for packages/Latest to go away, so yes, it should work in the future too. * 3. packages/Latest doesn't contain as many files as packages/All, and * the difference would be due to more than one version of some packages * existing in packages/All. Is there any other reason why a package might * not be listed in packages/Latest? No, that's the only one that I can think of. (Technically, the porter could have set NO_LATEST_LINK for a port that doesn't have any cousins and that would make the Latest link disappear, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that.)
