We argue about this a lot. Nobody has, as yet, ever done the work to make "bindist" a meta-package which depends (perhaps selectively) on sub-packages like groff, sendmail, gcc, et al. to achieve the required state of "bundling by default but not by requirement" in FreeBSD. This is despite the fact that we've even gotten to the level of discussing "how it should look" many many times, and I even believe a few people volunteered to do the work the last few times this came up. They subsequently disappeared into the same black hole which swallows so many prospective volunteers, it seems, and all that was left to mark the event was the echos of thread in the mail archives. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
