packages or ports?
Hello,
im new to the forum, im a new openbsd user... i begin write here cause also searching online i havent found a final answer. The question is like was said here ports/packages. If i understood correctly, assuming im with OBSD 5.6, i find same programs both in packages and ports. Only difference is that in packages they are already compiled, while in ports i have to compile in my computer. So mainly why i should use ports if i can go faster using packages? and if i have to use only packages, why people use ports? thanks in advance! c. |
