Interesting question.

As you should know we are guests (as before) on crux.fh-regensburg.de
which is kindly hosted by Martin Opel/FH-Regensburg. So we cannot create
one million user accounts. 

Aside from this, I (personally) would like to know WHO actually plays
with the CVS. I mean I know you, because I heard you in IRC & mailing
lists and I saw some of your Pkgfiles etc. But who else is 'we' ?

Another topic:
As far as I know it is not possible to specify more than one 'tag' in
supfiles (/etc/ports/*.cvsup).

If you use something like this..
-------------snip--------------
# Official contrib ports
contrib tag=PPC-2_0
-------------snap--------------
.. you'll only get the PPC-2_0 tagged/branched ports. Are you willing to
tag each port with 'PPC-2_0' after it got an update ? :-)

What's about creating a new collection called .. hmm .. 'contrib-ppc' ?
---------------------------snip----------------------------
/usr/ports/base
/usr/ports/opt
/usr/ports/contrib      <-- normal x86 stuff
/usr/ports/contrib-ppc  <-- ppc specific stuff
[..]
---------------------------snap----------------------------

There is an useful tool around which supports multiple port directories.

prt-get.conf(5)
-----------------------------snip-------------------------------
[..]
The order of the prtdir options is important, as if a port is in
multiple directories, prt-get will use the one found first
(directories listed first have precedence) [..]
-----------------------------snap-------------------------------

Other suggestions, comments ? .oO(Said with hope to have shaken
awake some more CLC members :-)

bye, danm
