My main concern is the FreeBSD > ports collection, I don't care much about OpenBSD compatibility. My main concern is FreeBSD users, also. Sharing infrastructure with other projects is desirable, and need not compromise FreeBSD's goals. This ought to be obvious: it can be seen in a huge percentage of the FreeBSD system. >> As previously discussed, the semantics of VuXML and >> elements are package names and version numbers respectively, not >> globs or glob-like patterns.

I would prefer when you would care more about > portaudit, especially the elements have to adhere to FreeBSD > semantics. Um, the elements *do* adhere to FreeBSD semantics. They adhere to practically any system's semantics--- that's the point of keeping them simple version numbers rather than system-specific patterns. Every package collection has the concept of version numbers (even though the ordering might be different). > Since you seem not to check your entries with portaudit, I have a lot > of work dealing with vuxml quirks. No, I don't use portaudit. How would I go about `checking entries' with it? Does it not understand some VuXML entries for some reason? If there is a simple check, I would be happy to do it. I didn't realize there was a problem. Could you elaborate about the quirks, and what kind of work it is producing for you? Maybe we can ``fix'' them. Certainly I'm willing to make reasonable changes, and now is perhaps a good time as I'm working on a minor update to VuXML 1.2 in order to accommodate the needs of another large package collection. > OTOH when you think we have different design goals, it should be no > problem for me to change the database, since portaudit is database > format agnostic. This (``format agnostic'') seems to contradict what you stated above, so I think I must not quite understand. Cheers, -- Jacques A Vidrine / NTT/Verio nectar@celabo.org / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@freebsd.org P.S. Did you miss this part? I would be much obliged if you would point out the problems so we can correct them, and so I don't goof it again in the future.
