No, Terry, I didn't offer you carte blanche to "submit any change to FreeBSD and I'll commit it", I offered to commit your specific changes to an area of FreeBSD you were complaining about (registration of sysinstall distributions as packages), which I happened to agree needed to be fixed. I called your bluff then, and I called it again when you started complaining about the UUCP port. Here are the messages I sent you to which I refer above. You never replied to either -- presumably because I'd pinned you down into a position where you were forced to do work in order to continue.

FWIW, it would be a pretty trivial matter to fake up package metadata for the sysinstall distributions after they're installed. You'd just generate the plist from the contents of the distribution tarball. This would be useful for deinstalling optional collections like kerberos or the header files, which is currently impossible. Perhaps Terry would like to do this to solve one of the issues on his list: I'll be happy to work with him to get a satisfactory implementation committed. > > X11 is a distribution set, instead of a package. >=3D20 > But... but...

I'm not sure it's even correct any longer. i.e. I seem to recall X is installed as a package thesedays, not a distribution.
