Interestingly: [pb00...@ssclt003 ~]$ git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/its/p3/pb00084/gaf/.git/ ... Receiving objects: 100% (63338/63338), 17.45 MiB | 235 KiB/s, done. It seems that the entire version control history of gEDA so far is smaller than the resulting built package. ;-) Maybe people in the third world should just Use the Source, if they're short of bandwidth!
