I'd like to know the top five ports that are a 'must have' on the first CD of each FreeBSD release. I mean which ports do people have to have for the first reboot after settting up a box and absolutely cannot tolerate sticking in the 2nd CD to grab any remaining ports of interest. I was thinking along the lines of a shell (bash/tcsh), an editor (emacs/vim), etc. So here's the deal. I'd like to get a list of people's top five ports that must go on the first CD. A few guidelines so we don't bore this list to death and end up making this a nightmare for me. :) 1) Reply to me and not the list. If at the end there is enough interest I can post some form of results. 2) Pick five and only five! If you really have to have six ask your friend to add it to his/her list before they send their's in. 3) No need for explanations for why you want them. Just list them one per line like this: bash-1.14.7 emacs-20.3 xv-3.10a tcl-8.0.4 tk-8.0.4 4) Don't worry about listing the dependencies. I can pick those up easily enough. 5) Try to pick ones that are in the -current ports tree. Asking me to put rxvt-2.4.5 on there when rxvt-2.4.11 is what we have, just isn't going to happen. x) What are you waiting for? Send me your list. :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
