I'm not arguing that your other points are invalid (in particular, I agree that the xorg change was really painful, and for a long time amd64 lagged i386 badly), but there is one very major blocker for this particular idea. If you browse the following URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/PackageSystemsComparison You'll see that pkgsrc is around 12k packages. Although our graph is stale, per the portsmon/FreshPorts URLs, we're approaching 24k ports. So: while it's been suggested before, it's not really workable. mcl _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
