Thank you for supporting all the hard work and countless hours that so
many volunteers put in making the ports tree better.

It really helps motivate all of us continue bringing the ports tree
forward when we get emails with so much joy and positive attitude.

FWIW, I've been chomping at the bit to try out flavours.

As for those complaining about, it's a remarkably small number of very loud people, but that's how it always is.



I can say that I do get a laugh out them say poudriere is too much work, then insist on building everything from scratch or even bailing FreeBSD for LFS or Gentoo... ;)

I never said that "poudriere is too much work"  Should users not be able to reproduce the current packages?
It is trival on linux to do that, FreeBSD not so much.

I would rather have a rock solid base as which to start from then what exists currently in FreeBSD.

At least Linux works with most current hardware........
