Subject: Don't bother mentioning FreeBSD ports or NetBSD pkgsrc only on the
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f190b67b358de93087e0098a6e8b356b4a68d2ad;p=openbsd

Don't bother mentioning FreeBSD ports or NetBSD pkgsrc only on the
architectures FreeBSD or NetBSD runs on too: if a third-party application
is missing from the OpenBSD ports tree, it is worth looking at the
neighbours' regardless of the platform.
