Dear Jordan Recently I stumbled across a document you wrote in 2001, entitled "FreeBSD installation and package tools, past, present and future". I find FreeBSD appealing and I would like to contribute it its success, and as your article describes, the installation and packaging system is lacking. Since the installation system is being tackled under a SoC project I am hoping to give the packaging system a go.
I was hoping you could help me with an update about the situation with pkg. I have searched the FreeBSD mailing lists and have found little information on the package system. Once I have a (much more) complete understanding of the packaging system (and providing there is work to be done) I would like to write up a proposal to solve the problems, and perhaps provide some innovating new capabilities. After that I will gladly contribute what I can to this (possible) project and hopefully further and improve FreeBSD. Any assistance or information you can give I will be greatly appreciate. I look forward to your reply. David
