Marc just raised a useful point about the refuse file that I actually
experienced this week. . .
I do like to keep things small. ..kernel, even the ports. . .
I found that pkgdb and portupgrade wouldn't run the other day since I
didn't ports-all in my cvsup config file. I think it was on FBSD 5.3.
Marc mentioned that some ports have funky dependencies that may be in a
foreign language collection .. .and anyway, what are you going to
save?
Just did a du on OBSD 3.6 ports. . .
/usr/ports/japanese 868k
/usr/ports/russian 212k
Yeah, it's not FBSDs ports in quantity, but I think the point is valid.
. . The ports is streamlined enough not to bother with a refuse file.
mea culpa, mea culpa. . .
