Everyone seems to be in favor of this, but no one has added support for sysinstall. We need a small lightweight package library that the pkg_* tools can also use. As it stands now, it's possible for the pkg_add tools to successfully manipulate a package that sysinstall claims is invalid, because the package handling code is totally different. Of course, whenever anyone opens this can of worms, they embark upon a N year quest to write the mother of all packaging systems, when all we really need is an incremental step towards a generic library until something better is completed. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-binup" in the body of the message
