Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Looking at my mirror today, I note the following packages directories: wollman@xyz(15)$ du -ks packages* 487917 packages-2.2.2 551684 packages-2.2.5 0 packages-3.0 653201 packages-current 589325 packages-stable This brings up a few questions: 1) What's packages-stable got that packages-2.2.5 doesn't? 2) I thought the ports crew had dropped support for -current, so how come there's still a packages-current? If I could lose just two of these, I might have enough space left on my drive for the ports distfiles, which I really ought to be distributing (because of the GPL). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
