I keep from stating my uncensored opinion about a good part of FreeBSD ports, |
| 7 |
and just say that their patch policy, as well as the one of pkgsrc that is |
| 8 |
another comparable system, is totally different from ours, and does not |
| 9 |
consider upstream presence. |

|
| 11 |
And I suppose I can say that with quite enough information at hand, |
| 12 |
considering that I deal with ports every time a package fails to build on |
| 13 |
G/FBSD .. the problem is most of the times I cannot make use of the patches |
| 14 |
used by ports because they are, if not broken, sub-optimal. |
