A primary thing *BSD needs for "hip young newbie" attractiveness is something less geriatric than CVS as their source code distribution system... no matter how secure, stable etc it is, it's $CURRENT_YEAR already and I for one welcome our Git overlords. There's "conservative, stable processes", then there's simply a lack of will to engage the learning curve required to properly learn and deploy that which is fundamentally superior in very way (except of course, that the commands are different, and from the ultra conservative view, that is, in fact, inferior).

Well, good news for OS diversity fans - FreeBSD is transitioning, to Git that is :) FreeBSD Can Now Be Built From Linux/macOS Hosts, Transition To Git Continues https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=FreeBSD-Q3-2020-Report .. - On the Git front, their transitioning from Subversion to Git they hope to have a beta repository by the end of October. .. - The FreeBSD Ports collection surpassed 40,000 ports/packages. .. - As of September it's now possible to build a functioning buildworld and buildkernel environment from macOS and Linux hosts. This is done due to some CI tools only supporting Linux/macOS and wanting to use them for constructing the FreeBSD base system and was sponsored by DARPA. Apparently even dinosoars can evolve, after all ;) On Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 02:08:56PM +1100, Zenaan Harkness wrote:
