Hi Chis,

Zitat von Chris Rees <utisoft@gmail.com>:

at least I guess have seen such configurations e.g. for the gnome  
desktop(?). So do you mean, there is one master port which causes the  
~50 ports to build in sequence? This would make sense as an addition  
to the current approach.

My concern was about the number of single ports. Currently, Tryton  
provides ~50 modules/eggs, for each a single port. Currently we are  
planning to support 2...3 tryton versions in parallel within the  
ports. This would even grow this number to ~150. I worked with a  
committer on this and he mentioned, that portsmgr might be not too  
happy about such a large number just for a relatively small  
application. That's why I considered to bundle the eggs into one port.  
But response from portsmgr is still open, maybe they don't see an  
issue with this.

Best regards,
Matthias
