Well, gziped CVSROOT/modules currently is 55KB long (transfer size is 110KB, because file have to be transferred to and then from client), so dialup committers would kill you.... In addition, it would greatly increase possibility of stale lock on CVSROOT/modules (Bad Thing, BTW) due to dualup going down in the middle of transfer. > In addition to the simple database management > consideration: all pieces of a transaction should be committed at once > -- to simplify logging and roll-back, and ensure consistency... I'm objecting to this. In addition to a valid arguments supplied by the Will and my arguments above in your scheme cvs history of CVSROOT/modules will be bloated with unnecessary description of each port added. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
