Hi,

I wanted to install tarsnap today but in the packages I could only find
tarsnap-gui (and in the packages for 6.2-beta tarsnapper). The
installation fails because they cannot find tarsnap.
In the ports though there is tarsnap and after installing that even
tarsnap-gui installs for example.

Thus I am wondering now about two questions:
1) What decides which port becomes a packages? I somehow expected that
  pretty much any port gets packaged.
2) Why are there packages that depend on ports?

Niels
