There were both real and bullshit reasons for dropping kfreebsd: * real: the port legitimately lacks manpower: bugs stood unfixed, not enough people stood up to do the work to keep the port in a good shape * bullshit: most of that work was caused by regressions due to systemd (meant widely -- incl systemdization of FreeDesktop components) -- A tit a day keeps the vet away. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
