One of the big benefits of the FreeBSD ports system is that I can customise ports to suit my needs. I don't have choice forced upon me by a ports maintainer - who may have totally different requirements. I agree the current _package_ system has some rough edges (lack of synchronisation/serialisation to cope with parallel installs and poor overall performance) but I hope the ports build system will not be thrown out as part of the pkgng migration. --=20 Peter Jeremy --HWvPVVuAAfuRc6SZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk/qIgkACgkQ/opHv/APuId5lgCfbFkgKL/NFs9OxZo+YSSl6FDT cr8AoLdFNDhszlcx0zzxvLsdwqNSJ72H =PR0k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HWvPVVuAAfuRc6SZ--
