[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm looking at http://www.freebsddiary.org/pkgdb.php while I run it myself. I'm finding wonderful questions like Stale dependency: p5-Authen-SASL-2.09 -> p5-GSSAPI-0.24 (security/p5-GSSAPI): p5-Geography-Countries-1.4 (score:26%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no] I must ask. How the hell am I supposed to know?? I build that as a dependency of something that I built months ago. There's a good chance that I'll be simply guessing at all of the answers. Is it really useful to run this if you can't remember? And why am I remembering anyway? That's what a packaging system is for, isn't it? Mike -- Michael P.
