--Apple-Mail=_A9A54F8C-F801-4E94-900F-695E03DB3C40 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Greetings, The topic of including /usr/local in the paths for compilers, linkers, = etc has come up again. I=E2=80=99ve started a poll to judge sentiment in = the community about what the default policy of FreeBSD should be in this = regard. This topic has been much debated in the past. Those against it generally = believe that it pollutes the namespace to include /usr/local/* by = default. The defaults should only include what we include in the system = to avoid accidents. Those for it say that it has become standard in = other projects and that makes it easier for people porting software to = FreeBSD as well as making it easier for users to use stuff they=E2=80=99ve= installed from ports. I make no judgement over which one is =E2=80=9Ccorrect=E2=80=9D since I = can understand the argument on both sides. So I=E2=80=99ve created this poll https://reviews.freebsd.org/V6 to gage = opinion of the project and its users. If I did things right, the poll is = open to everybody. The poll will be used as data, but I make no promises = about what will happen with this data. The poll will sat for 2 weeks, = and I=E2=80=99ll publish the results here.
