You mean FreeBSD Ports? And, how do we break compatibility? Solely
with naming conventions?I wouldn't worry too much about that, as a
simple mv(1) is all that's needed to comply ;-) Or is there
something else that I'm not seeing?
That's it, that's all.
"README ? Who would know that it's a readable file, README.txt it is.
Makefile ? sheesh, Makefile.mak. And what's this ? A program ? .exe !"
File suffixes suck...
File suffixes are useful because they enable you to associate files
with applications by file extension. When I doubleclick a file called
"README" on my Mac it opens into TextEdit. I hate TextEdit and do not
wish to use it, but because the filename has no extension, I cannot
inform the OS that I would like it to open into TextWrangler instead.
Same with files named Portfile or Makefile or whatever else.
