Re: /usr/src and /usr/ports not git directories ?

longer analysis, of why src would be, imho, still shipped, is here:

so yeah, i hope src and ports don't disappear from releases completely because i have number or cases where that would be good, including offline by accident, offline by design in high security environment, natural disasters, ((global thermo)nuclear) war or just plain old complete software abadonement of whole fbsd project in far future. i hope the last one is only reason. i'll also exclude sci-fi scenarios here

i just peeked into v1.0 iso i found. imagine, there's src!

that src can be still obtained from (our) git, i checked, but what if it suddenly can't

it's probably not the first time when everyone thought to have piece of software / code until noone had it anymore. if you sprinkle the src around the world like this, there are much less chance it completely disappearing

for a fun, i also have kept my stash of distfiles of last 10+ years or total 23y of using fbsd. it's only 50g of packed sources and includes most of server and desktop things. distcache exists but what if it won't. btw i'm curious how large it is?

there have been whole big tv stations who for intentional or unintentional reasons lost their archive and had to resort on obtaining it from lucky home taper

remember you don't really need to install the src.txz at all. you can just pkg install git or ports install it and pull it down from network if it's there still

it doesn't seem to save space either and we have minis for it

while there, can we have maxi-memstick too? in addition of hybrid iso. as this could allow quick image modification if one couldn't be arsed to build their own at the time they eg want to quickly sideload something like http://ketas.si.pri.ee/misc/installer-addon-utils-root-bin-si.sh into installer

so i hope end result is just src maybe getting git bootstrap and not getting completely removed

but yeah, it's weird how src is in git but base has no git. somehow we ended up with good tool but with wrong license and now it can't be in base because of it. if basically noone devs, why is compiler in base then? btw removing that would be weird too and would create all sorts of chicken end egg issues

hopefully this all resolves into my favorite solution, still have src/ports
