Size limit for ctm pieces

Hi ctm-users at freebsd.org,

What service is this that Andrew is using ?
Is it some service from mailman (like get with majordomo) ?
( Prob. not ref'd in content of last URL below *** in this email ? )

He's not fetching from eg http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/ctm-svn-cur/

I'm subscribed to all lists as per:

> From:		Stephen Montgomery-Smith <stephen at missouri.edu>

& also when I occasionaly have a local mail failure, I 'fetch' 
from mirrors, eg ftp://ftp2.de.freebsd.org/
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/cvs-cur/cvs-cur.19167.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/ports-cur/ports-cur.9700.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-4/src-4.2351.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-5/src-5.0860.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-6/src-6.1634.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-7/src-7.1676.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-8/src-8.1433.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-9/src-9.0555.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-cur/src-cur.10748.gz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/svn-cur/svn-cur.01107.xz
	/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/svn-ports-cur/svn-ports-cur.00109.xz

but I guess Andrew is using some other fetch by mail service ? What ?

----

I think there should be a link from
	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html
not justexisting link to
	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ctm_rmail&sektion=1
but also a new link to
***	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ctm.html

Content of that last URL looks ancient with  eg:
	"There is a sequence of deltas for the ports collection too,
	but interest has not been all that high yet"
(There's been a whole load of ctm lists for maybe a decade.)

Probably easiest if someone does an edit rewrite of whole page then
asks Stephen to bless it as correct, & the freebsd doc team to
replace whole old page, much less work than a load of small diff
edits ?

(Only catch is unfortunately freebsd web team work with an SGML
tool chain that has over 10 years here, has almost constantly broken
& conflicted with other ports, so its not just a trivial edit in HTML job. )

Cheers,
Julian
