> Why are you comparing pkgsrc to pacman.

The original commented suggested that XBPS was similar to pkgsrc. I suggested that XBPS has far more in common with Arch Linux's package manager than pkgsrc or anything else in the BSD world. As you yourself note in your next paragraph...

I have commit access. Since three years ago. My name is on the latest release announcement.

You prick.

That's not nice and totally uncalled for. Three years is a very short time.

The original comment did not compare xbps to BSD package managers. What it said was that xbps was written by a former NetBSD developer and thus arguably has different qualities than other Linux package managers. It is a different approach from someone with different sensibilities than a Linux developer. I have read comments from Void Linux mantainers and users that say more or less the same thing.
