Message-ID: <20011220000802.GB99222@gw.tex.bogus> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.24i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello to all, Portupgrade is a powerfull tool and I'd like to make the following question: - why not integrate portupgrade with the main FreeBSD tree? Well, I read FreeBSD handbook faq and it says: "(...) Since it is written in Ruby, portupgrade is an unlikely candidate for integration with the main FreeBSD tree. That should not stop anyone from using it, however." I'm not a programmer to talk about Ruby or other language, but I'd like to know if there is any solution like: - change Ruby to other language so that portupgrade can be integrated in FreeBSD? - integrate Ruby with the main FreeBSD tree and then integrate portupgrade too? (Forgive me! it's just an idea:) - etc ... I see no problem at all to use portupgrade port, but I think that it is a great funcionality to FreeBSD if portupgrade was part of it.
