https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255323 Steve Wills <swills@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |swills@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #8 from Steve Wills <swills@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to PauAmma from comment #7) IMHO, the operations one needs to do with git are simple enough that adding= the complexity of having the user choose and others support multiple tools is n= ot worth it. If you're only using vanilla ports and poudriere, I believe you can get por= ts and build packages without ever running git directly, instead having poudri= ere run it via "poudriere ports -c" and "poudriere ports -u". For anything past that, you're going to be making changes to ports and then need to use git proper in order to generate patches. And to me, we should be able to provide packages that meet users needs with= out them having to build them themselves, which puts any package building into = the realm of ports developers, but I know we're not there yet. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
