I'm not too worried about the users' machines (diskspace is cheap after all), it's the CDROM and ftp sites I'm concerned about. The ports collection is growing too fast and it has just spilled out to the second CD. At this rate, we'll run out of space on that soon
Actually, I only anticipate that this will get worse with time. ;-)
The ports collection itself is small - it could be 100 times the size and still fit easily on a CD. It's just the distfiles and the packages which eat us alive, and we have to figure out methods for distributing both *very soon* or the 2.2 CD set will be something of a mess. I'm already expecting to have to go to 4 CDs, the layout of which might be:
CD1: Distributions, Docs, Installation tools CD2: Live Filesystem, CVS repository, CTM base deltas CD3: ports + distfiles CD4: packages
Though I'm also more afraid that CD3 and CD4 are going to look like:
CD3: ports + distfiles CD4: more distfiles + packages
Since the distfiles are getting huge. With a package, we're only storing the bits we need for FreeBSD, so that's less demanding (but still pretty big!).
Longer-term, I dunno. We may have to spin the ports collection off as another product entirely since it's going to start needing 4 CDs all by itself before we know it! :-(
