xfree86 is larger than the linux kernel (xfree86 4.3.0 vs linux 2.6.11) xorg-x11 is larger than the linux kernel (xorg-x11 6.8.2 vs linux 2.6.11) Both use CVS. Apparently, CVS is capable of housing projects larger than the linux kernel. As Tracy pointed out, there are other reasons why the linux kernel does not use CVS or SVN, or any other of the many source code repository systems. Size of project is not one of them. -john I used the orig.tar.gz as available on the debian ftp site to compare. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
