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 It becomes outdated so quickly that it is close to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).
