*sigh* Making a CD with all the sources on the same CD as the binaries would be prohibitively restrictive. We're not going to do it. We're not even going to try it. I have this hair-brained idea. How about instead of postulating, you try speaking with the teams actually involved and see what they think? I'm sure Release Engineering and Infrastructure know just a little bit about the releases and our mirrors. ;] Anyway... I'm now going to be working with our Infrastructure team to come up with a solution. Continued "discussion" on this issue without knowing any of the actual back-end information is pretty pointless. I'm going to be working on a solution, so I am not going to bother reading any more of this thread, nor responding to it. There's simply no point in discussing something where one has none of the important information and yet still tries to make a decision. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
