At least as well as most "utilitarian" type ports -- it has it's issues, as do the others. I wish that the OP had combined this with: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199572 it would have made his case here more coherent. This feels like a rant, after his expressed experience in the other PR. The other PR looks like an install, as opposed to an upgrade; which is what ports-mgmt/portmaster's intended use-case is. > > Working ports don't have PR lists like > this:http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=ports- > mgmt&portname=portmaster&wildcard= Several of those are dupes, and most are at least a year old. > > > This port should be banned.

Or will that just make me the scourge of the committers? IMHO portmaster is a far better choice for upgrades, than pkg, it you're building from source. It affords you options *other* than default. Which pkg doesn't cater well to, if at all. --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
