To reiterate the status: * some extensive changes to the ports framework are coming; * these will require large changes to all the port upgrade tools; * no one has stepped forwards to offer to do the work for anything other than poudriere AFAIK. If no one does the work, at the time the large changes come, the other tools will break. People have been wanting subpackages (aka flavors) for many years; IIUC these are parts of the changes that are coming. Someone needs to step forwards and say "yes, I will do the work." mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
