One of the reasons this is needed is to allow develop[ment/ers] of local code or packages to easily bring in libraries and things they need. Without having to build and deal with them locally. Automation of build environments. Less or selected bandwidth use. Another case is openoffice. 2.4.x is outdated and good-day does not carry the deps for any version, thus it needs manual intervention and pointing to freebsd.org/mirror to install the deps. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
