However, their mysterious 'package guy' is not a fan of port, because he built a set of scripts to build package, and I think he considers that as a direct competition, instead of help, even thought the person I've been talking to understand all the points above and argees with me. > Btw, does the port pull in Erlang and its dependencies?
