Where does synth fit in, or is it falling into desuetude? If synth is to have a viable future, gcc-aux will have to be updated to gcc7-aux or gcc8-aux, or simply (?) gcc with Ada support. Synth was much faster and more efficient than portmaster but had the downside of not installing build-dependency packages even when wanted by the user. I have never used poudriere but now think I might need to.

Poudriere has always been the main (FreeBSD) tool for QA and package building. Note: While poudriere has overlapping functionality with portmaster and portupgrade, in the sense that they all "build ports", poudriere was designed primarily as a "package builder", not as a local port/package installation tool, though it *can* be used that way. What is the status of portmaster and portupgrade now? Both are maintained as far as I know. portmaster has FLAVOR support, I'm not sure about portupgrade re FLAVORS, though I do recall seeing reports of it not working in the not so distant past, so it may not. ___ 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"
Synth and gcc-aux status?
What is the current status of synth with FreeBSD ports, and I could also ask about gcc-aux. I see gcc-aux remains at v6 (gcc6-aux) while gcc is updated to 7.4.0 and 8.3, and even 9.1. Is poudriere now the main tool for updating ports? What is the status of portmaster and portupgrade now?
