This is one area in which I do not see the different BSDs as
deriving any great benefit from the forks. The kernels and
userland benefit from the different goals and diversity
throughout, and this is tangible to me as a user. However, the
different package systems all feel essentially the same to me -
they all install and manage software. Aside from pkgsrc's
portability, I don't see a great deal of difference between them
aside from claimed number of packages and slight differences in
usage. In short, I see the different package systems as being
a lot of unnecessary duplication of work.
I think that it would behoove the BSDs to more tightly coordinate
the package systems. Especially, I think that for a smaller and
more progressive project like DragonFly, there are more important
and interesting things to be doing than building another ports or
pkgsrc replacement. I'm happy to see DFBSD not leaning that way.
I don't know much about the package systems beyond a simple user's
perspective, so take what I've said with a grain of salt.
