Almost 3 hours to build Git and one of its critical dependencies from ports on an ARM64 VPS with #OpenBSD (because the package dependencies are still broken in 7.5-beta).

The dependencies that could be installed from packages pulled the entire XML parser stack and two text-mode Web browsers I don't need there (lynx and w3m).

This is an example of FUBAR at its finest.

I think the practice to distribute source code in .tar.gz (or, even better, .shar.gz) first must return, and for pretty good reasons.

People must not depend on a bloated VCS that takes 3 hours to build.
