This!!! I used to help out a little with a Linux distro, many years ago when it was feasible for a handful of hobyists to do so in their spare time. The experience was sobering. In about 5 years I went from building my own LFS system without any help (I wasn't on the net) to seeing a bunch of people just barely keep up as Xorg and Gtk+ grew circular dependency chains, some users demanded stability while others wanted updates, and of course compile times were rapidly increasing. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
