Hi,

I am currently at 98 packages and 204MB. Not that much, but still a

Indeed, a bulk-small subset, or the packages you care about, is surely
far less than all packages, in both storage space and build time.
Let's see how far I get. It is also positive that thigns are quite stable.
A year ago systems tended to lock up during compilation and I aborted
certain packages.
[*] up to now, things are quite smooth, in the past I had many more
issues. I wonder why nobody bothered to do an official build run?
('nobody bothered' is unnecessarily accusatory langauge.)
no intention to accuse anyone, I was just wondering. The sparc community
was small but quite loyal until some time ago and sometimes there were
certain issues behind such choices. E.g. inability to build a minimum
set, emulator failure or whatever. The existence of a couple of months
old distribution proved that.
Nothing more implied!
