re: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19562 I understand the purpose of the blacklist is to restrict the use of = certain meta ports to end-users only. That is, the meta-ports in = question should not be used as a depends in the FreeBSD ports tree. For example, do not use lang/python as a depends. Let the user install = that install. With my user hat on, who has a in-house meta-port which includes = lang/python2 as a depends, because we want it, and list of other stuff = installed. We can't do that now. Our meta-port is broken and can no longer be used. = Is there another way? The list appears hardcoded and no way for the end = user to configure. Thank you. --=20 Dan Langille - BSDCan / PGCon dan@langille.org
