If at least the output of "make pretty-flavors-package-names" did hint at the existence of a package for FLAVOR=py34, I could make portmaster override the wrong FLAVOR obtained from the MOVED file. But the output of that command is: $ cd /usr/ports/devel/py-py $ make pretty-flavors-package-names py27: py27-py-1.5.2 py36: py36-py-1.5.2 I could special case the knowledge that if a port can be built for py36 but the package name starts with py34-, that the FLAVOR is forced to be py34. But I'm not going to implement that kind of work-around in portmaster, I expect that the FLAVOR support is fixed in the port system. > What do I do wrong? You are not doing anything wrong, I'm afraid. The problem is in the current state of the ports system, with FLAVOR support just used as an alternative to slave ports, but without a sound design (IMHO). Once you have installed the port built with manually specified FLAVOR=py34, this information is recorded in the PKG DB, from where portmaster will fetch it and use it to upgrade the port, when needed.
