Strongly disagree.
Or if it cannot, the "base
system" needs to start using pkg_* (somehow) for use, and src.conf
WITHOUT_xxx (where xxx = some software) removed. Concept being: "I
don't need Kerberos; pkg_delete base-krb5. I also don't need
lib32;
pkg_delete base-lib32". Beautiful concept, hard to implement due
to
libraries being yanked out from underneathe binaries that are
linked to
them. But you get the idea.
This *might* be workable. However, in general - a large part of the
reason why I use FreeBSD is that the FreeBSD base system gives me
most of what I want, in *one* well defined chunk, *without* having
to install a zillion extra packages, and without umpteen different
versions of config files and locations for the important
information.
me +1
If I wanted to go Gnu/BSD (or Loonix) route, I'd already installed
either thank you. Funny though that BIND which is pretty
straightforward as configuration goes and as much essential system
component as Sendmail is getting the axe. I thought one of the main
philosophies in FreeBSD always was being a system in itself, rather
than kernel with some haphazardly thrown in components added.
