>>12 You don't like freebsd's pkg*? This isn't a copebsd design and ports are not considered part of any system except for the new pkg covering base with freebsd recently. The design issue with copebsd here is that using anything out of base or copebsd pet projects in ports breaks copebsd's intention but that's considered intentional if you ask them. When using a system that has pkg* it's safe to install something like guix and use that instead.
