Package addicts were so myopic they ignored some people won't even use packages, just /usr/ports & make. local.sqlite was immaturely shoved in without documenting it, no "man 5 local.sqlite" no hook there for the "couple of minutes learning" you assert, (no hook to believe the "couple" you assert). > Moreover i have hard time believing one needs to dissect the package = > system (beyond reading the=20 > output of pkg info) to debug a port build. One surely needs some = ports/ is not just a plaything for package script addicts. Some use ports/ to make & debug exclusively from sources. > --Apple-Mail=_16E0BC5A-FE3D-444D-8437-47827626590A > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Content-Type: text/html; > charset=us-ascii > > <html><head></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = > -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><pre = Send no junk ! > class=3D"Apple-interchange-newline"> > </div> > <br></body></html>= > > --Apple-Mail=_16E0BC5A-FE3D-444D-8437-47827626590A-- > > --Apple-Mail=_102D913B-49CA-4129-972A-758AABCAA293 > Content-Disposition: attachment; > filename=smime.p7s > Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature; > name=smime.p7s > Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 > > MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAqCAMIACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAQAAoIIIbzCCA7Yw 50 lines un-necessary.
