Yes, that's a real pity. I think it would be great if tarballs would be offered for those, too. I.e. this is *all* of OpenBSD (src, xenocara and www, the latter however "refuse"s papers/, slides/ and songs/ "because" i also have a checkout of the Steelix translation project), as has been burned onto my last full-backup DVD: $ ls -latr -rw-r--r-- 1 steffen wheel 516407350 26 Jan 15:41 cvsync_openbsd.tbz I think plain gzip wouldn't be that much larger. And hey, it's worth noting that this is smaller than .git/objects/pack of src.git alone! > the subsequent updates are lightning quick. Yes. And how easy it now is to do 'cvs up -PAC' to overwrite my messy patches. > --amit Ciao, --steffen
