--nextPart15314634.UlFRPv0S4Q Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Dear Jordan Recently I stumbled across a document you wrote in 2001, entitled "FreeBSD= =20 installation and package tools, past, present and future". I find FreeBSD= =20 appealing and I would like to contribute it its success, and as your articl= e=20 describes, the installation and packaging system is lacking. Since the=20 installation system is being tackled under a SoC project I am hoping to giv= e=20 the packaging system a go. =20 I was hoping you could help me with an update about the situation with pkg.= I=20 have searched the FreeBSD mailing lists and have found little information o= n=20 the package system. Once I have a (much more) complete understanding of th= e=20 packaging system (and providing there is work to be done) I would like to=20 write up a proposal to solve the problems, and perhaps provide some=20 innovating new capabilities. =20 After that I will gladly contribute what I can to this (possible) project a= nd=20 hopefully further and improve FreeBSD. Any assistance or information you c= an=20 give I will be greatly appreciate. =20 I look forward to your reply. =20 David --nextPart15314634.UlFRPv0S4Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGQ2z3yqzxLKpyZI8RApAmAJwKWitmM00p8Z3XfpDNr9LMct6oYwCdF78w p61fwhYjE8kGRIrTgptM+gc= =PBfW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart15314634.UlFRPv0S4Q--
