Multiplied by however many times someone wants to commit new ports. When I wrote addport, I was still behind a dialup link, and I greatly understood how much it would impede new ports. It's simply not feasible to do this sort of thing without enough bandwidth. There is an option to not commit CVSROOT/modules delta; people can write a quick script that adds it for themselves. I chose to take this route once -- January 4, 2001, where I committed 79 perl5 module ports in the space of 90 minutes. This sort of thing would not be possible for dialup users because of the load of CVSROOT/modules. In addition, I have tried really hard to make addport scalable to multiple new ports. I still haven't rewritten /usr/local/bin/modulesupdate to accomodate multiple new modules at once, so that's really the first place to start. > I'm objecting to this.
