What is the current status of synth? I see little or no updating activity, and no update to gcc6.aux while gcc is updated to 10.1. Does poudriere install build dependencies by default or when requested? I looked through the FreeBSD Handbook and Porters' Handbook online, and couldn't find the answer. With synth, I had a difficult time getting everything that was built to install, some packages like bison are needed in building other software. How is poudriere in that regard? Gentoo Linux with portage has "--with-bdeps=y" which installs build dependencies when desired. I found that poudriere uses dialog4ports; I much prefer to save options in a file such as Gentoo Linux does with make.conf and (NetBSD) pkgsrc does with mk.conf . I once got a royal mess of circular/jumbled dependencies with dialog4ports; cleaning was a major nuisance, nothing simple like editing /etc/mk.conf or /etc/make.conf . I never used pkgsrc with any OS other than NetBSD but have thought about it for FreeBSD and possibly Linux.
