The plan to release 11 with packages is moving forward. Do we really want a multi-gigabyte world package being downloaded so we can modify a security bug in /etc/rc.d/jail? It makes no sense. This commit in particular is wrong in that it does not go *far enough*. Everything installed needs to be handled by dependency ordering. The resistance to doing this correctly needs to just stop or we're going to end up with a completely broken system. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJWs8ejAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfPM8cIAKk0SRNNBnjXd9r4RxiE216b +/HywpNWewcz6D8hmnIhMlsbnF1jcgfCNfXqFmefD/qGPFAhxkqJChO0vunjtDdt XM2yGAaum8icyDV1jXInFgC2wI0PtKIq8egN7GwrVtW9lbNoUrA2P+6x+EWBR4gQ kAdt6V9bMOjFyuB6uPWNnlNO0HNIk2E8Vr6uYzYZ7ks/DhBBtUch0YwYwoH9sYZX OlgToQLvWDCzxfvcsHv5lIdv2qRj+Hkp+OdFPjg7UsTdsdbYrky9ifkoRMo5hgkq 71eKbxSO8luTaAYoPETHL2ZjvohYU5Q/S6dkiq6zZuytX9YLUFPF4+Da/7LUGB4= =t0Ja -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
