How's this for a radical idea -- split the ports tree off into its own project, and work with various folks from the Linux camp to come up with a single unified ports/package maintenance system? Now, I'm sure you're wondering who the radical is that came up with this idea -- the answer is that I don't know. However, I can tell you who recently mentioned it this past weekend at the NLFUG meeting as one of the things they're in very serious talks about actually doing -- "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.cdrom.com> himself. See, these guys aren't so dumb, after all. Maybe you might want to give them a break? ;-) ;-) ;-) -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Sys.
