From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@freefall.cdrom.com> Subject: Re: httpd as part of the system. Hey. This looks _nice_! Do you think they'd mind if we did a package version of it and stuck it on the CDROM? Yes. They would. Sources are not available to the general public and Arena is still under development. I can make the binary freely available, but can't give out source code, sorry. By the way, check out the "edit" command... it will flag your bad html for you. :-) I'm beginning to agree that a fully featured and well indexed packages collection may be the 4 aces that beats a full /usr/src house, but I need decent raw material like this for it! Thanks, -finally- someone agrees with me. I'd actually like to see more stuff move to the ports area, especially stuff where we really really don't want change control. I really get scared when people start moving things like ncftp and lynx into the /src tree. Who the hell has time to keep everything tracked? Who the hell has time to fix the CVS repository every time some fool imports changes to the head instead of to the vendor branch (pet peeve). I've installed Linux a couple of times to see what all the hoopla was about, and I was actually really annoyed that every single bloody piece was broken out, since 95% of the time you needed to be a Linux geek to understand if you needed it or not. Frankly, I think a package-collection feature added to the package tool would be cool... then I could specify an uber package consisting of: cern_httpd popper lynx et al be the extended networking package for BloatBSD. Hell, X11 is the perfect example of an uberpackage.
