This is a huge disappointement.
Guess, I need to add the hooks locally.
 
 
I don't think anyone is ever going to suggest that rust tools take over completely from the shell/awk/sed/unix tool scripts that we have always had - they give pkgsrc portability, allowing use of pkgsrc on lotsa platforms, and bringing much needed utilities to platforms which would otherwise not have them. At the same time, I'd love to see faster, more efficient alternatives, which, should the platform have a rust toolchain available, could be used in place of the scripts. Or to build the outliers like grafana which stretch OS limits some (and maybe OS limits are difficult to change for some platforms). Anyway, I'd like to see an option for both, and I'd like to have this available to all pkgsrc users

TL;DR it's not XOR; it's AND

Doncha just hate it when you fluff the punchline? It's not XOR, it's OR. I'll shut up now
