It's not exactly the same, but the lang/python2 port for example is a meta-port which creates symlinks such as /usr/local/bin/python2 -> python2.7. So the precedent of having a metaport which creates symlinks is there. What folks have been complaining about in this thread is having symlinks in the "base system directories" such as /bin. My personal feeling is that we should look at this on a case-by-case basis and allow these types of ports, such as for /bin/bash but I'm sure others will disagree. -- Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
