Peter,
You could rsync /star or /stardev from saturn when the build works, or just
use the CD. The build didn't work last night because I killed it.
Having a /stardev CD is just a useful extra for people interested in a
system with the source code; they can play with it without breaking the
/star system. It would only be a download, but then again, the standard CD
will only be a download next time.
Steve.

Hi Steve,
sounds very good, just one question, is this /stardev replicated somewhere
at RAL as a normal install? I'd like to be able to mirror this using
rsync.

Not sure why you'd want to do this, /stardev should have become /star by
the time of the release, so other than what you seem to be offering here
that would be of little use, as far as I can see.
Cheers,
Peter.
