OK, but "hardlinking" will only help those who fully mirror, but this is quite confusing and misleading to ordinary users who manually/partially mirror. I would bet many folks fell into the trap and were mistaken to download "Fedora/" until they noticed they actually want "Everything". In worst case they ended up with having downloaded Fedora 3 times (1. iso, 2. Fedora, 3. Everything). At least I would have expected a fully expanded Fedora/os tree accompanied with a Fedora/iso directory containing isos filled with a subset of the packages from the fully expanded Fedora/os tree. > > It renders "cvs commit; make tag build" non-functional, but requires you > > to additionally launch a browser and wade through various web-pages. > > > > Can we please have a "make release"? > > It's in the works I've heard several times.
