If you honestly think that "where to extract things" completely sums up this problem and why you might want to prefer one format over another then you have a very monofocused view of package management, one too highly focused to be actually useful. I also feel a little like I'm having a discussion with Terry Lambert here, where it doesn't matter whether we're discussing the most appropriate implementation language or how to maximize performance in the design, it always comes down to transitive closure! :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
