Indeed - that's what I like about this - you can do everything within the normal ports work-flow - no using packages or dealing with the diablo distfiles. It would be much more seamless for users. In the suggested alternative, I would need to: 1) pkg_add openjdk 2) build openjdk from ports 3) uninstall openjdk from the package 4) install openjdk from the port portmaster/upgrade can help with 2-4 but it still need manual intervention beyond normal "make install clean." And of course it assumes I know this situation exists - if I don't, then I end up with an error related to fetching diablo distfiles that doesn't present a way forward, other than install diablo as a build dependency. Also, what about using the official packages from the cluster as the bootstrap instead? That would solve the problem of manually built packages getting behind. --=20 Rob Farmer
