Monolithic packages

Need to get 15.6MB of archives. After unpacking 4096B will be used.

Man, can't there be a package manager that gets diffs or something? Some of us are still on dialup.

Meanwhile, Neill Corlett wrote an operating system.

I have a debdiff system, just never bothered to deploy it. For one, some site needs to generate the diffs, and some site needs to host them. I have neither of those resources…

FreeBSD’s ports system uses diffs, but it still needs to download the original code at least once. When you CVSUP the system however, all it does is download src diffs. very cool, but time consuming.
