            Bug ID: 227347
           Summary: ports-mgmt/portmaster: unnecessarily recompiles
                    flavored dependencies
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: se@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: d8zNeCFG@aon.at

It seems that whenever a dependency does not specify an explicit flavor for=
 a
port which is flavored, portmaster reinstalls it unconditionally. For examp=
le,
running "portmaster devel/llvm50" will recompile py27-enum34 and py27-sphin=
x,
even though both are already installed in their latest versions.

I think portmaster should be modified such that when checking whether a port
needs to be updated it first checks whether the port is flavored (probably
using "make -V FLAVORS"), and if it detects that it indeed is changes the
update check to be for the default flavor instead ("make -V FLAVOR" where t=
he
environment does not include the flavor).

There are quite many ports whose dependencies have not been marked (complet=
ely)
with a flavor, and it probably should not be necessary given that a default
flavor exists anyway (there were however a few commits where most of the
flavors for python dependencies were added).
