I have the port for the digital currency. It has 3 parts that install non-intersecting file sets: daemon, cli, qt-ui. The commonality: same repository, same build options, same license, mostly same port options. I am attracted to the idea to use flavors to let users choose which part do they want: FLAVORS=default daemon qt cli "default" will install all of them, others will install individual parts. Option list will be slightly different for each flavor. One alternative: only have port options. Then some options can't be conditional on which parts are built. Another alternative: 3 slave ports. I don't like this idea at all. Do you think flavors are a good fit for this task? Yuri
