haven't you heard? we're not allowed to do anything for ourselves anymore. the mythical (and god like) Library Writers do this for us. our job is to glue things together and port: http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/03/07/0043215/Whatever-Happened-To-Programming?art_pos=8&art_pos=9&art_pos=9 if we were to write our own, we would be guilty of Wasting Resources. this is a capital offense. therefore we must port what the Library Writers have given us. ... or maybe not. i think contrib is pretty nice. why do we need "blessed" packages, away? if you're installing all unix->plan 9 ports, perhaps you would be happer running unix in the first place. - erik
