The following reply was made to PR ports/3657; it has been noted by GNATS. From: asami@FreeBSD.ORG (Satoshi Asami) To: obrien@NUXI.com Cc: james@nexis.net, bgingery@gtcs.com, FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG, gnats@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-ports@hub.freebsd.org Subject: Re: ports/3657: HyperNews port submitted Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 15:41:00 -0700 (PDT) * Any real reason for this rule? As a ports user, I really don't care * *where* something comes from. I'll read the MASTER_SITES if I do. It's not so much "where" as in physical location, as it is about which collection it comes from. The CPAN archives have a distinct "taste" that we thought would be nice to be inferred from the package name. * However, as a budding Perl hacker (well I hope) I do care if a port is * for Perl5. If you are looking for perl ports to hack, just grep perl in ports/INDEX. :) Satoshi
