And you implement plugin framework for it, and release the first plugin that you name "portmaster-plugin.do-the-best" (i know it's rather stupid name, but it's an example), that will allow to user successfully build any port (even if it broken on that user's arch, and even if it not exists yet) without any problems. And you just announce it on the offsite: "Please install that portmaster-plugin.do-the-best and you will forget about all the problems you expected earlier days". And there is some kind soul that added it to ports tree with name "portmaster-plug-in_dothebest", since he decide that it's better than original name and some unnecessary dots and spaces is avoided too. User just can't find it in the tree and will continue crying on the ports@ that FreeBSD ports is such unprofessional and unconvinient :) -- Regards, Ruslan Tinderboxing kills... the drives.
