They also got a pkgsrc port going recently. The problem is t= hat projects have specific needs that other systems don't have. FreeBSD port= s are by far the largest and very fast to build. Pkgsrc comes out quarterly s= o it takes a long time to get patches in or updates as Dragonfly goes throug= h. With MidnightBSD, we wanted all ports to go through fake install so our p= ackages would work all the time and we could write package tools customized f= or the ports tree.=20 Every BSD has different needs and different users.=20 Lucas Holt On Dec 14, 2011, at 10:07 AM, "C.
