from René Ladan:

> it is our pleasure to announce that Baptiste Daroussin (bapt@) is back on portmgr.

Is this a new port in the works, or is portmgr a (confusing) abbreviation for portmanager?

I never used portmanager, but remember from the days of the old pkg_* tools, before pkgng, some users swore by portmanager.

Then portmanager was not compatible with pkgng.  Maybe it can be revived?

But what is happening with synth, supposed to make portupgrade and portmaster obsolete?
