Hello to all,
Portupgrade is a powerfull tool and I'd like to make the
following question:
- why not integrate portupgrade with the main FreeBSD tree?
Well, I read FreeBSD handbook faq and it says:
"(...) Since it is written in Ruby, portupgrade is an unlikely candidate for
integration with the main FreeBSD tree. That should not stop anyone from
using it, however."
I'm not a programmer to talk about Ruby or other language, but I'd like to know
if there is any solution like:
- change Ruby to other language so that portupgrade can be integrated in
FreeBSD?
- integrate Ruby with the main FreeBSD tree and then integrate portupgrade too?
(Forgive me! it's just an idea:)
- etc ...
I see no problem at all to use portupgrade port, but I think that it is a
great funcionality to FreeBSD if portupgrade was part of it.
Thanks very much,
--
