The first question is: how much space do you want to invest in keeping
the sources? Table 16-1 on page 249 shows the space required by
different parts of the sources.
Table 16-1. Approximate source tree sizes
+-------------------------+-----------+
|Component | Size (MB) |
+-------------------------+-----------+
|Repository src/sys | 53 |
|Repository src | 330 |
|Repository ports | 36 |
|Source tree /usr/src/sys | 65 |
|Source tree /usr/src | 225 |
|Source tree /usr/ports | 200 |
|Object tree src | 160 |
+-------------------------+-----------+
The size of /usr/src/sys includes the files involved in a single kernel build.
This changes the size of /usr/src as well, of course. Similiarly, the size of
/usr/ports includes a few ports. It will, of course, grow extremely large
(several gigabytes) if you start porting all available packages.
If you're maintaining multiple source trees (say, for different versions), you
still only need one copy of the repository.
