https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D213552 Bug ID: 213552 Summary: pkg-1.9 (latest) is not usable or very functional Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: i386 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: nibbana@gmx.us I don't know what the hell is going on with FreeBSD, but it seems like the policies now set in place are geared to develop trashy code, and push a trashy operating systems out as a "RELEASE", when the operating system is not in any way EVEN USABLE. Whoever is in charge needs to be FIRED, or needs to RESIGN!!! I can say this: 20 years ago, FreeBSD was NOT ALLOWED TO BE RELEASED WITH EVEN A SINGLE NOTICBLE FLAW!!! The entire release would be held back if even A SINGLE NOTICABLE THING WAS WRONG! And now? The display is totally fucked up! Artifact characters on the terminal (ncurses?), random displays of inverse "mouse" blocks (mouse driver?), scrollback fucked up (keeps scrolling when the buffer fills), zero functionality of vidcontrol, stuck to 30 lines and bad fonts, double-spacing on terminal mouse pastes, broken Xwindow - won't start up - segfaults, many-year-old USB/ATA drive panics that erase and/or corrupt dozens and 100s of files on drives - dozens+100s of STUPID Clang warnings on things like correct operator precedence - it seems that everything is being designed for retarded people! And NOW: pkg is TOTALLY FUCKED UP! And it's just great that no help or man-page describes how to get the pkg version number - or cites it - just fucking great. Luckily, it wasn't too hard to guess, but a user shouldn't have to guess what options are: pkg -v (undocumented) $ pkg -4d search xorg; pkg -4d update [I'll leaving the double spacing for the idiots that programmed it, why should I waste time covering up for idiots programmers at FreeBSD?] pkg -4d search xorg; pkg -4d update=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20 DBG(1)[79750]> pkg initialized=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 pkg: Repository FreeBSD missing.

It is possible to fetch(1) meta.txz - but that doesn't help anything. A user can't search or update - and bugs.freebsd.org is not so lynx friendly anymore - it's usable, but it's not friendly to lynx. It's difficult or impossible to know what means what when presented with lots of lines and checkboxes that don't have clear labels. Just more "progress" I guess - isn't that what kids call it today? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
