as i said, pkg also fails every day in weird and wonderful ways.

i do not want attention.  i want things to just frelling work.

talk about having to stand on your left foot while chewing gum.  you had
to make a movie to get someone to look at a bug.  and you're proud of it?

my point is simple.

there will always be a few bugs.  otoh, with freebsd ports, there may be
a few working paths, but they are damned hard to find.  and there is
very viable competition.  many long time freebsd users are leaving, yes
sadly, but leaving.  the window is closing.
