It is a very normal file tree. (You ar refering to that, not the site) > I found the source files in distributions, but I'm not sure if they contain the BSD > patches or not. Not to mention the annoyance factor of having a single directory with > 700 files. What patches? There are no patches. But there are a CVS tree that you can use to get updates. Take a look att www.freebsd.org, in the hanbook you will find there. Where did you find that single directory with 700 files? The source dirs ar not built that way, and you can get parts of the source tree by just adding .tar to the directory that you want to get. > FTP sites have followed a general format for 20 years.
