That's a bit off-topic, Max, please, don't change the subject. The ports
quality is the primary target. The wide choice of pre-built packages --
the secondary. It seems, the quality of the ports collection can be
improved by merging the frontpage-<slave> ports into one (frontpage
itself), even if that means there will be no prebuilt packages for the
slaves for some time.
