https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255323 --- Comment #14 from Muhammad Moinur Rahman <bofh@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to VVD from comment #13) By the by I think everyone is missing a point here. This is not about remov= ing portsnap from the base neither adding gitup/got in the base. And git/git-li= te is never going to be landed in the base as the code is GPLv2. The entire purpose of this is to discourage usage of portsnap. Just consider that when someone is planning to migrate to FreeBSD from Linux. And for port installation they are trying portsnap and somehow while portsnap fetch upda= te it pollutes the tree making the tree unusable. Do you think that a new user will be interested with continuing with FreeBSD. No. That is the main purpo= se. People who are regular user and know about this will continue using it. If broken they know how to fix it. But a newbie in the FreeBSD world might not know about it and might lose interest sooner than ever. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
