This thread was called "results of ports re-engineering survey" but I figured I would start a new thread. On Dec 12, 2007, at 6:45 AM, Ade Lovett wrote: > > > We *know* it can be done better.

Code talks. Out of curiosity, are any of these shortcomings documented anywhere? I have been using ports on my home machine for a long time and I've never had any problems with it. I assume the issues come into play when you work with multiple systems you are trying to keep in sync, etc. I would be interested in reading about some of the limitations people have run into when using ports. -- Steven Kreuzer http://www.exit2shell.com/~skreuzer
