I saw that it (llvm80) now uses something called 'gcc6-aux' and no longer gcc6. As you say. 7 and 8 are still there, but I have yet to install a port that references them. gcc9 seems to be the current stable gcc. As to your point, Pete, I do install from packages in some cases, but I've gotten involved with making 'synth upgrade-system' work. It wants to use the ports rather than packages, unless you change its defaults. At this point I only use packages to resolve circular dependencies, such as on graphviz and doxygen. As much as I want to end up with a system that implements what I need for the project, this mule is intended to be a _learning_ system. It may not be the fastest dancing bear around, but I _will_ learn to teach her to dance. Cristoph, I've only touched on poudriere. I'll take your advice and study it further.
