Hi Carmel,
My understanding is that poudriere is the only package building system
that is officially supported by the portmgr, apart from raw make.
There are many other nice ports building tools contributed by the
community, which each have their niche market, but the maintenance of
those tools is a community responsibility also.
The announcement of impending flavors and breakage of package building
infrastructure that doesn’t support it was some time ago (I believe at
least 6 months), with a number of reminders since then. If a community
Yes, 6 months but IMO ports maintainers have still 2 or three months.
They "pushed" flavors out to early. I do not why.
Well, I certainly have no intention of installing and then learning how to use
an industrial sized solution line poudriere for a relatively small home network.
I am hoping that someone can get "synth" back up and working correctly. If not
it might be time for me to look at another OS for my network.
Looking back at other port management utilities like "portmanager",
"portmaster", "portupgrade" and now "synth", The FreeBSD team has done a
pretty good job of obfuscating and rendering them impotent. Which brings me
to what happens if I do embrace "poudriere". How long before that becomes
history also?
Which is one of the many reasons I am leaving FreeBSD. Going back to my
own scratch built linux. Just tired of FreeBSD playing games, ain't
doing it any more.
