I'm sorry for upsetting you.  I asked a technical question to you and
the entire CC line and triggered you, I don't see a causal link so
you'll have to forgive me for top posting.

You have my solidarity.  Times get better and worse for everyone each
day and committing to FreeBSD as a volunteer (which I assume we both
are) is not always easy nor possible.

I'm not seeing where anyone asked you to do any work.  If you give it
a couple days you probably wont have to, thanks for raising the issues
to bapt and the entire ports community.

Ok.  There are always unknown unknowns.  I don't know all the details
here but I saw bapt lay out very good reasoning for these changes,
they are working for some including me, and I support him in resolving
the matter.  I'll take a look tonight and see if I can help.  I
support pkg and ports, and I like anyone that wants to make things
better.

Regards,
Kevin
