"keep the source code" for 3 years on a separate machine or at worst create "gpl-archived-versions" which can easily be excluded into which older versions are copied which are *not* required to be carried, as at the rate of GPL'ed software development, the distfiles directory will exceed the freebsd archive size in a couple of years. -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
