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.
I knew there was a reason I was holding off upgrading -current. Thanks! :P

OpenBSD folks promise to fix everything by May when 7.5 is fully released, but the real issue is that Git is never gonna be fixed anymore.
