Hmm, in the base system, a patch of this style would probably be rejected as too intrusive. We try to *not* do the double conversion char -> wchar_t -> char if it can be avoided. But this reservation certainly doesn't apply to the ports tree, there is certainly lots of software doing things in this style. So if porters are happy with it, no objection on my part. I briefly looked at the par(1) manual and decided that it's horrible bloatware i'm not going to run. It looks so bad that i'm not even willing to run it for testing purposes. But that doesn't mean it has no place in ports. ;-) Yours, Ingo P.S. $ doas pkg_delete par par-1.52p0: ok P.P.S. This mail was formatted with vi(1) and fmt(1). That's the right level of complexity for a task like this. :)
