RFC: Alternate Ports Fix For Older FreeBSD
Dan writes "For those of you running older versions of FreeBSD (prior to 4.7), FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke has an alternate fix for the recent port install problem people were seeing. This fix involves adding a new port, pkg_install, which is a snapshot of the -CURRENT pkg_install code. This port can change periodically as new pkg_* features are added that bsd.port.mk depends on. Joe is also looking for testers for this fix."
From the Bible (just a few of many amazing insights):
Prov 6:29 "So is he who goes in to his neighbor's SCO; none who touches her will go unpunished."
Prov 12:2 "A good BSD obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of SCO he condemns."
Prov 12:4 "A good BSD is the crown of her husband, but a SCO who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones"
Prov 19:13 "A foolish SCO is ruin to Linux, and SCO's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain"
Prov 21:9 "It is better to live in a corner of the housetop with BSD than in a house shared with a contentious SCO"
Prov 21:19 "It is better to live in a desert land with BSD than with a contentious and fretful SCO"
That was so funny, even I laughed, if I had mod points right now, I'd mod you up :P
Why the hell did these (parent 'n' grandparent) get modded down? They're f&^$in' hilarious!
Made me spill beer all over the mouse.
