Expulsion of John Marino was a shocker to me, caught me by surprise.
Now my question is what is the status of synth?
Should I switch from portmaster to synth?
If synth is deprecated or dropped, after I switch from portmaster to synth,
then I have to switch back, and this would be a monster mess of extra work.
Not to be inflammatory here, just want to know where I/we stand and don't want
to go too far off course updating my ports.
I don't recommend portmaster for anybody. It's unmaintained, it already causes
headaches on upgrades, and even though it works now, it is unlikely to keep
working as the ports tree evolves.
This is FUD. Yes, portmaster can be less maintained, but it works
without observable issues, at least I don't see any problems with it on
my systems. synth and poudriere lacks the ability to set and maintain
port options recursively, eliminating any practical (from user
perspective, not developer) use of such software stand alone.
