There is a trend to try rely on ports as much as possible for some things l= ike ncurses (not done yet), libarchive, libedit etc. The reason is we have to maintain various version of freebsd and those libr= aries can be old, broken, or have different API/ABI: - openssl is a big case where it causes issues, and probably the most complicated one given that if you start doing it then you need to bring gssapi, kerberos, etc along with it. - libedit showed the issue with unicode and only 11 and 10.3 will have a fi= xed version - libarchive had 2 different API/ABI accross version not that long ago, and= can be built differently: libmd or libcrypto which can make things complicate= d for ports. - ncurses was dead old until recently and it is still a castrated version we have in base (no binaries, just the libs) USES=3Dlibedit is an attempt to fix that. for libedit (making sure all the = version of freebsd can ship a valid unicode for ruby cli, unlike osx for example) it also simplify the life of the people working on ports. By reducing the p= ain supporting multiple version of various libs. There are also lots of people asking for a "ports compiler" to only have to= deal with a limited set of differents compilers.
