Hi all, portmaster, a tool used/loved/hated, is almost in abandoned state. I'm a portmaster user, because, in some cases, it fits my needs. In other cases, I use other tools, like poudriere or synth, that are really great. I don't want to open a discussion here about what it's better, but the truth is, that I use portmaster and it's not maintained. So I decided to spend some time to look at it and to work on it.
I forked it and I start some work. The plan is: - remove obsolete features, like the -PP option - remove pkg_* support (even if someone could be against it), forcing the usage of pkg - prepare the support of new features like FLAVORS and subpackages - adding a new ports, called portmaster-devel, for the new version I did a branch on github working of the first two points (https://github.com/pizzamig/portmaster/tree/remove_oldpkg) I'm looking for constructive critics, feedbacks, anything that can help me to make portmaster an actively maintained and used tool. Thanks in advance Best regards, pizzamig PS: I won't start a port/pkg tool war, my opinion is that the world is big enough to have poudriere, synth, portmaster, portupgrade and whatever tool you will write to handle/build any ports package in the way that you prefer. _______________________________________________ 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"
