What's the deal with "Use the space freed up"? Does this mean there are disk space limits to the OpenBSD distro, and that something has to leave to make space for something new? Or is it a joke I'm not getting?
- notaplumber 10y agoIt's those line deletion/addition ratios man, it has to even out.. or preferably favor the left side. But seriously, it's often said that the tree is now full, you need to remove something unmaintained before you add may something new. ..more seriously, while it may not be noticeable by DVCS users, working directory sizes for CVS/SVN repositories can actually /decrease/ when code is removed.
- gkya 10y agoGuess: OpenBSD has wide embedded use, so they may want to keep the base image as small as possible.
