Well, pkg itself also is. :-) Maybe in the future we will see parts of the new package installation infrastructure and source maintenance tools become part of the base system. Luckily the current ports for those functionalities don't pull in thousands of dependencies, so in my opinion the current approach of having "stubs" in the OS and the "real" programs in ports is acceptable (of course with the option of having them available in the "offline" installation media as well, comparable to how documentation is handled today). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
