--nextPart2026193.NL1H7vH84U Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Alexander, I have been working on a program (available via ports-mgmt/portbuilder) tha= t=20 handles concurrent installation of ports. It doesn't change the port=20 infrastructure but manages the build process via python. The program has=20 strong similarities to your project's objectives. =20 It also has some interesting features like allowing one to install ports vi= a=20 packages or pkgng repositories as well as directly via ports (and the order= of=20 preference and fallback methods can be controlled). =20 I am open to sharing my experience and insight with you, to assist you in y= our=20 project. =20 Regards, David On Monday, 21 May 2012 08:12:14 Alexander Pronin wrote: > Hello Community. >=20 > My name is Alexander Pronin.
