Re: [gentoo-alt] [PREFIX] The lost case of OpenBSD

[alessandro salvatori]

Fabien,

   one of the last times I had been to Paris I stumbled upon a group
of guys that were going to the pkgsrc conference, and joined them to
learn more...

apparently pkgsrc "ports" are available for Interix, so perhaps some
of these guys may give you some guidance. if you bring portage to SFU,
you'd made me and many other people happy!!!

bonne chance!

In C, you merely shoot yourself in the foot.

In C++, you accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself and
shoot them all in the foot. Providing emergency medical care is
impossible, because you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which
are just pointing at others and saying, "That's me, over there."
