would you be wiling ot meet me on a irc channel, say, on freenode?
I will be on channel "chuckr" for the next new minutes, ok?
Let's get this off the mailing lists, and get it over.
I see no benefit in not discussing this publicly. And, it's not
about "getting over it". You stated, among other things, that OpenBSD
is somewhat programmer unfriendly. Which is wrong.
So stay with us and explain exactly why OpenBSD is not suited for
serious software development (which I and my colleagues do, btw).
OK, if you won't let it go, I will stay with it. I tried, quite hard,
to silence this. But the next time you characterize me, I stop answering.
I am trying to do a project ... the project somewhat intersects some
system software, and some ports software. Because of the intersection,
I wanted to find out what control I would have, to be able to install my
own images in some places. I don't wish to modify anyone else's
situation, and certainly I wouldn't even think about "forcing" that, it
would be ludicrous.
I want to be able to put in my own items, and have them be able to:
1) be found by the pkg tools, the *DEPENDS stuff
2) not have files that I've installed be overwritten by installed files
from ports. If I installed a modified gmake, not to have you overwrite it.
that's all, and it's not all that much, at least it seems to be to be
well within the reasonable. I don't want this to happen automatically,
I am willing to maintain some system info so that the ports dont get
confused.
