I personally think including pkgsrc sources in the base CD release is

    a waste of time.  It becomes outdated so quickly that it is close to

    worthless.
    What would be worthwhile would be including it in a base DVD release

    (aka SOC project), along with pre-built binary packages that match

    the sources, plus a rc.conf-controlled cron job to keep the sources

    up-to-date.
    Distribution of such a DVD release is more problematic.  I do have colo

    space but I had to RMA the server box due to it being unstable (I tried

    it w/ two OS's and it corrupted & paniced both after a short while).

    I hope to have it working within a month and will have at least 5 MBits

    of bandwidth to play with.  We should also consider making the DVD

    release commercially-available, e.g. have a 2-disk set (CD+DVD).

Hi,
As Simon already said, space + bandwith should not be a problem.  We

have plenty of high-speed mirrors available which could host one or more

DVD images.  I'm sure Simon can provide a direct upload to chlamydia ...

if not, I'm sure I can provide an upload for the mirror here in Marburg.

I think the space is not a problem.  The majority of downloads, being

release or snapshot isos or pkgsrc binaries, is served anyways from

mirrors across the world.  A DVD wouldn't hurt - we'd only need a way to

push it to the mirrors quickly enough :)
cheers
