But, and I think that this is where this thread began, I can't find any documentation for the end user and the hints that I have found are not very discover-able. The FreeBSD Handbook section for using ports [using-ports] doesn't even contain the word "flavors". I can't find any mention in the docs of how to select a particular flavor while building a port (make FLAVOR=py27) or when installing a particular flavored pkg (e.g. py-37-s3cmd). <deleted a bunch of stuff once I found out that...> I just discovered that a port's FreshPorts page includes a list of acceptable flavors (e.g. [py-s3cmd], [emacs]), which is super-useful. I can't find a similar command line invocation and don't see anything relevant in the `Default targets` section of bsd.port.mk. Have I missed something somewhere? g.
