    I gotta chime in here:
    It really pisses me off that FreeBSD does not let you (by default)
    cd /usr/ports
    make update

    It tells you that you need to futs around and configure things. If I wanted to do that, I'd install stuff by hand. I just want to update my ports - I don't think that's too much to ask.

    Yes, I've submitted that as a bug. Yes, it was rejected.
