The title does not say "FreeBSD has removed GCC from the base system". It says "FreeBSD has removed GCC", full stop. Ports are also managed by the FreeBSD project, as I'm sure you'll agree.
- cat199 7y agoBut 'FreeBSD Ports' are not 'FreeBSD' itself. Title was clear to me - yes, perhaps more clear as you say it though.
- twic 7y agoThe title very evidently wasn't clear to the casual reader. Today, you learned something!
- lvh 7y agoI've ran every major BSD as a desktop OS and my first read was "what?! I knew Clang was getting good at pretending to be GCC nowadays but there's no way they've thrown it out of ports, right?!". And indeed, they haven't, but not because I read the title correctly.
