A cost(=time)/benefit look on moving ctm from src/ to ports/ : - No tangible architecture benefit (its not like purging an old driver to makes kernel support simpler, or avoiding clashing libs etc) - FreeBSD would shrink 0.028 % of the size of src/ cd /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src du -s -k . # 1223922 du -s -k `find . -type d -name \*ctm\*` 196 ./usr.sbin/ctm 74 ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm 12 ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm_dequeue 44 ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm_rmail 18 ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm_smail dc 196 74 12 44 18 + + + + p 344 dc 344000000000 1223922 / p 281063 # then move 9 points xcalc 344 / 1223922 # 0.0002810636 Those who would do the work might want to ponder if 0.028 % is best use of their time, or if more fun & benefit to work on some other part of FreeBSD ?
