- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoCool, the biggest issue I’ve always had with FreeBSD is figuring out how to do routine updates when I’ve installed ports.
- floatboth 8y agoIf you're building some ports with custom options, check out Synth: https://github.com/jrmarino/synth https://github.com/jrmarino/synth It downloads binary packages when it can & builds ports in parallel while showing a very nice ncurses UI :)
- perlgod 8y agoCan second Synth. I always used it on laptops where a full poudriere setup would have been overkill. Also it’s written in Ada!
- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoCool, as a Lisper I have to support niche languages :)
- perlgod 8y agoThanks for the feedback! I've added a tidbit about syspatch, and also warned users about the (somewhat unusual) state of updates for third-party packages on OpenBSD: https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop/#updates https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop/#updates
