On the contrary, the idea is that more and more should come *out of base* and into ports. Base is very static and stuck in time. By moving these things into ports, you are able to get updates much simpler. No need for an errata or security advisory or release. Just updating with portmaster/pkg upgrade. portaudit is not needed with pkg, just use 'pkg audit'. > > Also, is there a reason why dialog4ports's functionality wasn't added > to dialog(1) as a switch? -- Regards, Bryan Drewery bdrewery@freenode/EFNet
