First, welcome flavors. It has been badly needed for a while and is going to clean up a couple of messes that have been plaguing the port system for a long time. Second, whither port msanagement tools? At least portmaster now appears dead. Any reason to expect it to be workable again? I have not tried synth with flavors, yet,.but I see noting committed to deal with them, so it looks like port management has devolved to raw "make" operations or poudriere. Am I missing some other option? I really with there ha been at least a days warning of the flavoring of python so I could have set up to do tings a bit more smoothly. Some issues are still unclear. e.g. pygobject3 is orphaned. Since I have 23 ports that depend on py34-gobject3, I don't see deleting it as viable. pkg shows no upgrade path... just "orphaned: devel/py3-gobject3". None of the ports htat depend in it show that they need updates. I'm going to guess that I can build the py-gobject3 port with FLAVOR=36 and that will fix a bunch of stuff, but I am not really sure. If I rebuild that way, will I break any of the ports that previously wanted ry34-gobject3? Don't know, but it will break my entire desktop if it fails. I might mention that cython, compat10x, compat9x are also orphaned. This looks pretty ugly. Are they really gone? Or re there flavor here, as well? again, pkg gives no clues. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
