There is this rather shiny little project: http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng I'd call it quietly revolutionary, except that it hasn't been particularly quiet. There's been plenty of discussion in freebsd-ports@ and freebsd-current@ as well as what's linked to from that Wiki page. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
