I know that I can use other means than ports.conf now, but if I am not mistaken, ports-mgmt/portconf has not been deprecated, there is nothing in UPDATING about the use of ports.conf having completely changed, and I do not see anything in the documentation of ports-mgmt/portconf, either. Could you please point me to the documentation of the complete change of behavior of ports-mgmt/portconf you are mentioning? For certain ports I see notes in UPDATING that due to the new options framework the old WITH_* options do not work anymore, but there is nothing on sysutils/testdisk. Or is it wrong that the new options framework is backwards compatible unless mentioned in UPDATING for certain ports? I got the impression that I could not use the new syntax you mention above for ports that have not been converted, yet. Since I like my consistent set of options I have collected in ports.conf and kept synchronized on all my machines, I have not tried to convert it, yet. Neither in the porters handbook nor in the wiki, I find what kind of backward and forward(?) compatibility I can expect and what has been broken (or changed). Am I missing something?
