When needed building something locally (i.e., custom kernel with genuine world, only some specific leaf ports needs non-default options), src and/or ports package that exactly matches what other parts are built from would be wanted, and it could be difficult for newbies determining at which commit they'd been built from. With this aspect (alone), src and ports packages would be useful. > On January 21, 2025 10:09:43 PM GMT+02:00, Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@freebsd.org> wrote: > ... > >I think that /usr/src and /usr/ports as part of FreeBSD release > >distribution should just go away.
