I cannot agree.? Many developers ensure that their
software runs under
their particular distribution and then call it POSIX. Porting to UNIX
systems, such as Solaris or macOS, can be difficult and tedious.? (Of
course, this is not a Linux issue.)
It's especially frustrating when, after having put in the work, projects refuse even
trivial patches for Solaris and derrivatives or sometimes even BSDs because 'who uses
that anyway'. (I include the patches in pkgsrc instead.)
