Hmm, that is interesting. I hadn't made the connection. I don't think bittorrent supports symlinks, hardlinks, permissions, ownership, xattrs, or ACLs, though, which would make its use strictly experimental for now. But it would be something interesting to look at post-FRS. Certainly we should take a hard look before rolling a new CDS from scratch; from the specification at http://www.bittorrent.org/protocol.html it seems like the missing filesystem metadata bits wouldn't be too hard to add. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
