Why do we still store these big binaries in CVS? There's no sane version tracking for binary files and these things make checkouts very big (users who run abs get all this shit downloaded). I've enabled write access to /other/ for the ftp-arch group yesterday, please use that directory for such things. IMHO this directory should also replace the ~tpowa/, ~alexander/ and ~jgc/ things we're using at this moment to store unofficial source tarballs for packages (xulrunner comes to my mind).
Thanks for stealing the words out of my mouth. This is really rediculous because of abs, and the fact that I've had to go into CVS and delete these because I realized it was happening- that should NOT be my job. Please move this stuff to other. -Dan
