Yes I got caught out by flavours too, but it was quickly fixed and it
adds a much needed feature which will make ports and associated tools
better at the end of the day.
People really seem to miss the point that there are only finite
resources and as an open source project that depends on people
volunteering their time to add new features and maintain tools.
A number of the messages to this thread really don’t seem to
appreciate that and they come across very poorly.
Sure it would it be nice if everyone’s favourite tool was always
maintained in good time but that can’t always be the case, however if
anyone really wants something, they can chip in and make it happen,
thats the beauty of open source projects.
For those who are considering migrating to something else, would your
time not be better spent chipping in to help?
Not really, you are still left with current hardware not being supported.
When we adopted poudriere at work, it really enabled us to make much
quicker progress than we had been able to do with portmaster, so for
those that havent tried it its well worth a shot if your previous
favourite tool hasn’t been updated yet.
Also if I was to update the "other tools" would it be incorperated into
the ports or would all the work be for nothing?
