for what its worth, i have to run a bunch of things at work which include webapps like wordpress, drupal, and mediawiki, but the versions of these we (openbsd) package are completely unusable for us (at work).
however, if the packages go away it doesnt actually make it easier for us to keep doing what we're doing at work. the existence of the packages isnt obstructive at all, and if the packages do help some people then i think thats a good enough argument for whoever is happy maintaining them to keep doing so. dlg On 14/09/2013, at 6:47 AM, Marc Espie <es...@nerim.net> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 10:30:19PM +0200, Matthias Kilian wrote: >> I really think we should stop supporting those "webapps" that just >> don't fit into a system distribution but have their own ecosystem >> (where users are advised to "ftp" to their "webspace" and similar) > > I disagre vastly, just for the fact that sometimes, there are patches > that are useful mostly for us, or some kind of adaptation to get > some libraries to work correctly (like sthen did to get pdf from > drupal).
