Why has it stopped later?.. Although we do talk to each other e.g. at conferences, each of our projects is sufficiently occupied with current tasks. There are some things that they can do that we can't and vice versa. The codebase divergence is huge, and the target audience is different as well. (For instance, FreeBSD isn't worried about boostrapping on other OSes, as pkgsrc is. Attempting to deal with it is a huge task that would simply give us no benefit.) If you take a look at the codebases, you'll see how big the divergence is now. mcl
