To be blunt, anyone who wants to use FreeBSD for production does not give a shit on pkg alpha versions, he expects pkg 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 at the latest to cover 99% right. I still foster that feeling that we are rushing and forcing ports changes, including pkgNG transition, at a hilarious pace, and even if portmgr states that -exp runs do happen for most changes, -exp runs will not capture real-world systems that need to make several transitions (pkgNG, USES=... transition of the day, Perl version of the day, Python wrapper of the day, c++ lib of the version) at once. And the lack of compatibility I've seen so far is frightening. Most people no longer test ports on pre-pkgNG systems because that's deprecated. But it needs to work fine until the day after expiration. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
