Personally I agree. On balance it seems best to "snapshot" the upstream sources in our CVS and only refer to our CVS for source downloads. > I just don't know how happy SF will be, if we put tons of (additional) > binaries in CVS. The 2.6 Kernel source is about 70MB and that's the biggest upstream we have. If we provide a downloadable (outside CVS) full source snapshot for every formal binary release (4.0, 4.1 etc.) those will be much bigger but not that frequent. I don't think that's too bad, but then I don't have to pay SF's hosting bills... davidMbrooke > As always - just my opinion.
