Perhaps we could make use of a change of the suffix in the package names 
to make a distinction between the older lrp packages and a new new more 
featurefull leaf format :-) (OMG what topic did I bring up)

What about .tgz ? It corresponds exactly to what .lrp
packages are:
tar xzvf package.lrp unpack any ".lrp" package
tar czvf package.lrp .  creates any ".lrp" package
The only "specificity" of an .lrp package are the files
in /var/lib/lrpkg. It does not correspond to a specific
storage format.

This is a pain if someone only needs a module for e.g. a nic. This would 
require downloading 5M when you only need a 15k module. Perhaps obsolete 
kernels could be removed? Charles seems to have 186M of kernels/modules, 
and only the 2.2.19-3 kernel has all known security holes fixed, so the 
others shouldn't be used anyway.

Agreed, but IMHO it's still a waste of bandwidth.

Ewald,
Thanks for the feedback. :-)

I thought about your suggestion, and I agree that some of the older content 
could be removed. It is available from our files area [1], so the content 
in the devel tree on the shell server is redundant. However, your 
suggestion is harder to use as a policy. I believe there are differing 
opinions as to what current means for a kernel. Am I mistaken?

Developers can always place expanded kernels in their personal tree [2] in 
our cvs repository. Binary files should download properly from ViewCVS 
provided the -kb sticky tags are set. So, single module downloads would 
still be possible.

Everyone,
It looks like SourceForge is implementing the mailing list archive 
replacement for GeoCrawler.

Everyone,
I just did this on a trial basis.

I changed the default Main Menu view also. Let me know if you think it's 
better this way.
