They also got a pkgsrc port going recently. The problem is that projects have specific needs that other systems don't have. FreeBSD ports are by far the largest and very fast to build. Pkgsrc comes out quarterly so it takes a long time to get patches in or updates as Dragonfly goes through. With MidnightBSD, we wanted all ports to go through fake install so our packages would work all the time and we could write package tools customized for the ports tree. > > Every BSD has different needs and different users. > You can use pkgsrc-current, which is updated all the time. It also supports installation to fake DESTDIR, from where binary packages are made and then installed. It is useful, if you are building as unprivileged user. And pkgsrc already supports FreeBSD. > Lucas Holt > > On Dec 14, 2011, at 10:07 AM, "C. P. Ghost" wrote: > >> On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 2:00 PM, Julian H.
