Everybody who contributed to this thread: thanks.
I plan on doing the following:
Hack daemontools so that it installs in LOCALBASE and behaves like
the 'old' daemontools. Put a big warning in MESSAGE that points to the
slashpackage webpages and any other issues relating to it.
When this is no longer feasible: mark it BROKEN. Same goes for other DJB
tools that may get converted to slashpackage.
That may be a good compromise for the (long) time being. slashpackage may
well go the way of QMTP, EPLF, MXPS, etc. Even the clearly superior
maildir format took a _long_ time.
I _am_ a bit suprised that no one took the bold stance that we should
convert our ports system to slashpackage. =)
