Just to add to the portmaster V portupgrade ... I recall fondly the MOVED portmanager. (binary code). It had an initial check-dependency run one could cntl-c out of and have onscreen to update just a few ports... and fixed ports often where the others failed for some reason. [I tried coding some local variances to portmaster here, but got lost in the code...] I read about poudriere daily almost on the ports list, and wish [1] that before I use it someone (if ever, not likely to use it as of now, not enough machines) puts together a flowchart of its use cases, edge cases, etc large enough to preclude reading forum threads or mailing lists... [1] not for my benefit, but something I could write about in emails... _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
