It's the only open feature request I found, that comes close to what I = am proposing. BTW: I wonder why development of a FreeBSD core element like pkg takes place = outside the FreeBSD repo environment, where a possible committer must = sign up for some account.. Shouldn't the FreeBSD development be self = contained on its own infrastructure? I know github is very convenient = and easy on the eyes - I see that and no offense intended here for = choosing github or prefering a modern SCM tool like mercurial, git or = whatever over svn. Maybe it's not really a problem for the majority and = I - as a fossil - suffer from oldthink. Just some metathoughts. Cheers!
