Are we trying to avoid including GNU utils in base? There is texinfo and gcc, but are there any others? Also, can we write smaller ones or programs that fit a purpose, for example something tiny, and have them included?

By the way, I noticed clang is not available in base, why is that?

By the way by the way, what do people use instead of wget?

LibertyBSD is really just supposed to be a drop-in replacement for OpenBSD that's deblobbed-- adding anything new that isn't necessary isn't something I'm really up for. Personally, though, I'd like to start a branch of LibertyBSD that tried interesting features, adding a couple of packages to base, maybe even switching to a GNU userland... Maybe next release, or the one after that. :)

And OpenBSD uses LLVM for the most part, or GCC when necessary. I don't know why they'd include clang, too.

People use ftp(1) instead of wget-- just use it like you would wget. =w=

The branch sounds like an excellent idea, also gotcha on the wget, might do that myself.

Also, I'm very excited so I'm just going to let you know, we can talk more on email.

I spread the word of free software and a company listened and changed their license from restrictive to permissive about half an hour ago! Super hyped!
