Hi everybody, [...] Because of the fact that things didn't changed drastically, I ask, if there has been any development regarding to share packages? Not recently. There has been the ports DB which lists numerous ports repositories, and there's a new 'contrib' collection which collects
Another thing which I (still) dislike a little bit are the inconsistent naming conventions of the few utilities managing the ports and packages. There is ports, prt-* and pkg*. Tools handling just packages are named pkg*, i.e. pkgmk, pkgadd, pkgrm,

Also, pretty much everything behind the sense change change, certain things even drastically (Per left the team, new server, CLC merged into main project, cvsup dropped as ports backend etc.). pkginfo. Those tools have no notion of a ports tree or the distribution method, i.e. pkgmk but knows just Pkgfiles. prt*, i.e. prt-get or prt-utils, use the ports tree heavily. At the same time, prt-get itself doesn't build any packages but rather calls _pkg_mk for it. There may be certain scripts which use the wrong prefix, however the basic distinction is intentional and renaming them might make the names look similar, but make no sense WRT the functionality of those tools.
