Re: bzip2 in src tree

No thank you. Remember that the only win here is if bzip is used in an infrastructural capacity (e.g. for packages and other install stuff), and it has been pointed out that the savings on disk space are offset by the additional memory requirements. If it won't be used for infrastructure, then why can't it stay in ports? -- Ben Rosengart UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc.

building world on pre-signals-change systems
If I recall correctly, someone posted recently that the time is not far off when one will be able to make world on an older, pre-signals-change system. Is there going to be an announcement when that happens, or has it perhaps happened already? I'm running an Oct 1 -current box, and I will eventually want to update it, and I'd like to know when it's safe.

SUPFLAGS in /etc/make.conf
I submit that putting "-z" in here is silly, because the sample cvsup config files turn on compression, and suggest commenting it out if you have a fast link.
