In the midst of all the negative noise, I thought I'd post and say
thank you for bring in this feature. I've been chomping at the bit to
try flavours out since I heard about them. I started flavouring my
company's internal Ports Tree extension the evening after it landed.
Flavours are going to reduce 18 server role metaports to 3.

Do you have a web page where flavours are explained nicely for non
technical FreeBSD users so that they can also see the benefits of
flavour. I think it is a little odd that a big change like this is not
mentioned in any way on the front page of FreeBSD.
I really believe things are better this way albeit i did not read and
understand it in a whole. I also believe flavours are nice in a multi
server envirement and on the desktop.
The negative noice comes from people who USE FreeBSD on a single machine
or maybe 2 and are now confronted with there old habbits not working
anymore.
Give those people a walkthrough how they can run poudriere. Best without
out a server but just a oneliner they need to remeber for future
updates. They do not want to spend too much time reading and trying to
update there system.
If FreeBSD has done that i think that was lot less negative noice on the
channels.
Secondly I want to thank you all for the great product FreeBSD is and it
is a great product thanks to all the time people infest into FreeBSD.
So thank you all. But i also hope FreeBSD learns from these big changes.
If FreeBSD want a larger userbase, single machine users are there. And
they do not want to spend an hour reading through a poudriere man page.
They just want to type pgk upgrade, portmaster -d -a, or maybe poudriere
update ports for all that matters.
users also don't want to wake up to the fact that what worked a few days
ago not is working ie fetch/update port repo run synth and then get a "
What the fuck has just happened now" only to be put down by the so
called folks in charge here for even asking.
