I find working with the ports system easier, as an end user, than DEB- and RPM-based systems that I've used. I have never built DEB- or RPM-based packages, and the one time I tried creating a port I failed (though frankly I didn't try that hard -- it was just an experiment when I was bored one evening), so I guess I'll have to take your word for it when it comes to creating ports. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --RnlQjJ0d97Da+TV1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkyr/hsACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUOiQCePTL5cxWxv0U2KTr3hsx57pIA OlAAnRQ0a4F4ei7b/AwbnlwUYQNHavQl =fLPB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RnlQjJ0d97Da+TV1--
