The best I can do to separate libexec/ftpd out into its own repo is 596 MB (ZFS lz4 compressed). The worst was 1.5 GB. I suppose 596 MB will do. If we want to make it smaller then history will need to take a back seat. We can do a port with it now. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <[email protected]> FreeBSD UNIX: <[email protected]> Web: https://FreeBSD.org NTP: <[email protected]> Web: https://nwtime.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
