I >>>finally wound up back-porting something from the 2.2 tree. Responding to my own post... What I was discussing was whether Walnut Creek wanted to publish the definitive 2.2 final set. That means (on CD-ROM) an installation set, the ports collection, and =all= the distfiles associated with with that ports collection. I don't care about the "live filesystem" and the like, for this purpose. I also asked if that would fit on a 2 CD-ROM set. It's the distfiles that is the issue here. If I "cvsup"ed the /usr/ports tree, and then did a "make fetch" from the /usr/sup directory, would that do the right thing? How much disk space would it take? Would that give me something suitable for CD-ROM burning? What we'er trying for here is the definitive final 2.2 CD-ROM set, such that any package that exists as a port will =guarenteed= build, avoiding bit-rot for those of us that use FreeBSD in a production environment. -crl -- Chad R.
