It's been almost a year now since anything significant happened on the list. I personally am not involved very much in libh anymore, and leave space for other, maybe less ambitious but more realistic, projects like libpkg which should make the current system work better instead of re-inventing the wheel. I feel that libh has taken too long the role of a failed promise for the FreeBSD community and rightly deserves to die now. Each year or so, new volunteers crash their heads against this wall, without real impact, and I actually feel libh hinders real improvements of the packaging system by giving a false hope of a coming revelation. :) Cheers, A. --k1lZvvs/B4yU6o8G Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAqkU+ttcWHAnWiGcRAmQDAJ0UgEAzToH0ZesI0E39U6Da1LOcnwCgm7jU 9FRpCAucZbN2MLAh1de2gdE= =0FBY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k1lZvvs/B4yU6o8G--
