Their dports setup switched over to it officially a release or two ago. I believe they're even using poudriere to build their packages. However, I agree that pkg bugs on FreeBSD should be added to the FreeBSD bug tracker. At the very least, a FreeBSD PR needs to be entered with the bug number from the pkg bug tracker. There needs to be a FreeBSD-specific papertrail for bugs on FreeBSD. -- Freddie Cash [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
