What are FLAVORS and why do I need it?
Is there somewhere that explains the intent and purpose?
Thank you! Just the question I was going to ask.
FLAVORS allows a pkg repo to contain variations of the same port. For
example, a port that has two mutually exclusive options can now exist in
the public repo as both builds (each with their own FLAVOR suffix),
rather than requiring the port maintainer select a default and force
users of the other to compile the port themselves, or do things like
maintain subports.
