And that's fine if that's how you prefer to work, but everyone's point is
that it has nothing to do with the current ports system at all so the talk
doesn't belong on a mailing list dedicated to the current ports system.
It's just noise here. Research for a new system from ports@ users belongs
on a list dedicated to the new system.
That is a little unfair IMHO - Aryeh has to gather information from
those who use the current system, and @ports is clearly the place for
that! Now he may listen to all, some or none of the points of view he
receives... and that may well determine the success or otherwise of his
ports-ng process - but I don't think he is doing anything wrong.
I agree that a new list (ports-ng or similar) for this would be a good
thing to start *soon*, so that those folks (probably from *this* list)
who are interested can see what is happening and maybe help if they like!
Cheers
