Hello world, As those of you who have been following the ports list may know, we are changing the ports skeletons' layout in an effort to reduce the number of small directories and significantly speed up operation on the ports tree. This should especially help operations such as "CVS update", and will also reduce the number of i-nodes required to keep the whole tree around. The conversion will be done this weekend. It will only take a day or two. There should be no functional changes that you can see after the conversion (minus the bugs I may introduce, of course). However, during the conversion, the tree will be in an inconsistent state and attempts to use the tree will fail in most weird ways, so it is recommended that you cvsup the tree on or before Friday and do not cvsup again until I post an "all clear" message.
