Re: PKGBASE Removes FreeBSD Base System Feature

Thank You for support Rob.

It was definitely not my intention to scream/yell at anyone.

I am just sharing my concerns here.

I am just a sysadmin - I do not have a commit bit - I am not a FreeBSD developer - I just share what I believe may push FreeBSD into direction to make it better - because after all these years with various UNIX (AIX/Solaris/HP-UX) and Linux systems FreeBSD seems to be the best and most sensible overall option - the "Jack of All Trades" - its the option that sucks the least.

... and even if all these 'bad' - in my opinion - decisions will take place - that pkg(8) would be able to destroy FreeBSD Base System - I will still use FreeBSD - because even if FreeBSD will lose its Base System feature - it will still be the best overall option out there if You want a free and open UNIX system with all needed features.

Regards,
vermaden
