Hi Iggy, Thanks for pointing this out. The bloat was pretty incredible. I've moved ALL the xmms patches into tarballs (currently there's a tarball for 1.2.7 patches and a tarball for 1.2.8 patches making their way onto our mirrors). As a result, files/ has only the digests now. dbus-0.11 I've removed from the tree entirely, and it took that cvs patch with it. As for Xfree, azarah, donnie, and I will discuss strategy on which versions we're keeping in the tree (for now :P) and we'll get the patches and such onto the mirrors. Please give us some leeway, as there are major changes ahead for xfree.
