Speaking as someone who's been compiling from ports for at least
a decade, and maintains 1200+ ports on at least one box:
Yes ... but not much. I use portmaster and stuff mostly Just
Works(tm). [Thanks, guys!] Ports get updated regularly, and the last
major problem I can remember had to do with defauly version bumps in
perl and python (2->3).
I understand there are folks for whom poudriere or synth are The
Right Tool(tm). But I am one of a number of folks for whom it is like
carpet-bombing the neighborhood to get rid of one miscreant squirrel.
Respectfully,
Robert Huff
