An Open Letter to the FreeBSD Foundation, Core Team, Committers, and Community
Agreed.
I don't think the PR reviewer is calling the author in the example, and provided useful info, pointing out the relevant example.
Also, the author notes:
> The very first comment in the thread from a reviewer was simply only one word: “Why?” - That’s it, just one word. Why did I do this? Why work with such old hardware? Why is the sky blue? How the hell am I to know the context of what they’re referring to when asking a one-worded question?
Its clear from https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/189#discussion... that the author is asking why is this line needed, something a PR author should always be able to justify.
Probably useful to link https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/189/files for some context. Looks like author overdramatizes the situation a bit.

Thoughts of a Linux diehard user that has migrated to FreeBSD
From https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/main/UPDATING:
-
I want to move from linux to bsd
Say you really want to pin to Apache 2.5.54. Create a new empty repo, add a www/apache24 dir, and copy the files from that version of the ports tree into it.

Git archive checksums may change
They have not been stable

chromium disappeared from packages?
As for announcements: how would this information be delivered to you? :) Major breakages that impact users are expected to tracked in Ports (not pkgs) through review of /usr/ports/CHANGES and /usr/ports/UPDATING. If a port gets renamed (moved), you'll find it mentioned there, or possibly in /usr/ports/MOVED (not human-readable). You can view those on the GitHub mirror if you wish, since not everyone builds from Ports: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports

New to FreeBSD. Problem with apps complaining about XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
About installation, I think the same, the variable is set dynamically for each normal user. And I think I have one suspect: sysutils/consolekit2. Wayland says that it is one of the options: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/2d487a43aa142c32eabdd8feeb4ca523d24c6a42/graphics/wayland/pkg-message

i dont like systemd
Gentoo and FreeBSD handle it in their "ports" tree, making it quite obvious what is required on source based package systems.
- How much did Sony contribute to the freebsd codebase?
-
FreeBSD upgrade
Do you know if the ports tree is downloaded with https? Is it from this git repo?

VNC replacement
This, and if you want stable tunnels may I suggest my own tool? https://github.com/ferama/rospo I use it every day to tunnel rdp connections that are behind NAT. Is a setup and forget, it always keep the connection up
