It has been suggested to me to split pkg_upgrade out of sysutils/bsdadminscripts and create a separate port in ports-mgmt/pkg_upgrade, because people have difficulty to find it, unless they stumble over one of my shameless advertisements. This however is not compatible with my plan to share code between scripts in the future. Hence the only alternative seems to me, a meta port in ports-mgmt/pkg_upgrade that depends on sysutils/bsdadminscripts. Would such a thing be accepted? I feel sceptical, because it does not even depend on several packages and the real solution in my opinion would be if people searched the ports tree with "make quicksearch cat=ports-mgmt" instead of browsing the file system. But they don't and I know of no way making them do it. Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
