FreeBSD Ports Collection Breaks 10,000 Ports

Posted by timothy on from the 10k-non-race dept.

sremick writes "After breaking the 9,000 mark in July, the FreeBSD ports collection was well on its way of crossing 10,000 by the end of 2003. Sure enough, we made it! According to freshports, the number of ports in the FreeBSD ports tree currently stands at 10,015. This little graph is also nice, though not completely current. Way to go, FreeBSD!"

    That title makes it look like changes to the port system broke all the ports. Maybe "exceeds" rather than "breaks"?

    Seems development has been rather steady for a while now. I predict 11,000 ports in... 6 months.
