And if you would all please note, Colin Percival has implemented this while you were busy whining. Please pardon my lack of ``netiquette'' in this post. I'm using a web email gateway. Sue me if it doesn't wrap. David: perhaps you should send your next flame to /dev/null. If you can't help, don't hinder. --Devon Original Message: ----------------- From: Johan Pettersson manlix@demonized.net Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 12:42:32 +0100 To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org, dev-null@NUXI.com Subject: Re: Pkg-based base system.

And I don't know what a bikeshed is, never heard of it before. I just wanted to start a discussion about a feature that _I_ think would be good. Isn't that what the mailinglist is for? Discussion. And no, I don't want Linux. I like FreeBSD, but why should I have things that I don't use installed? Yes, you can use find(1) as mentioned by someone but it could be simplified. I apologize for everything bad this may have caused. It wasn't my intention. And I apologize for what I wrote in my first post: "This couldn't be too hard to implement. :)". It was ironic. Notice the ":)". But I should think twice before writing something like that next time. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .help
