No, portmgr is the group of people that administer the ports system, issue ports commit bits and so forth. https://www.freebsd.org/administration.html#t-portmgr > I never used portmanager, but remember from the days of the old > pkg_* tools, before pkgng, some users swore by portmanager. >=20 > Then portmanager was not compatible with pkgng. Maybe it can be revive= d? portmanager needs work to be made compatible with pkg, and will need on-going work to cope with some upcoming changes like sub-package and flavours. There's nothing stopping anyone stepping up and contributing that work, and if anyone is even toying with the idea I'd encourage them to get stuck in -- even small improvements will soon add up. > But what is happening with synth, supposed to make portupgrade and > portmaster obsolete? Synth is still being actively developed but the author is now working primarily on DFly. There is a new maintainer for the synth port who will be porting the latest updates to FreeBSD, much like almost any other piece of software in the ports. At the moment there is a problem with synth on recent FreeBSD HEAD due to not having a working ada compiler. This will be solved eventually as the bugs in various toolchains get worked out. --jOfrUdOcDEKrDN0MTjvWcPcb77emMdKAR-- --D2bChttLNBDtdSapRFVK3tAMoODc78ktl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJZOqDSXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkATZ0AP/jNHgAnQvU6Mg6xgHRj2eV2R d/9I5xmDzmSouhwO+bweSR3mDrQrNUPqOBE/ym2uwu+OfYev7RxgX2JRhx4tynE6 5ZwJA7dBmPCJUefMX8DOEYSBDyANSH1JobStEiLiI/5tKJFqJgPhHQihVcg+xnZa GUBMdzATLvU18B7vDlCO1xMtGvnqfH5BsFsxtdzO+8KLhzd2oj/Hmz/TJRWkpnXA naJOyuiaHcwgoYUqdXVE01ZhJ44+iDt5+2xspmkF9qfxElc/kHfCH8qHO8dTGUS6 Eyy1oyPgfsUYIhlI+IO7gOGPZK3c+2ChKEDzsoh5FacYPer8ibc2tSsWT0RYGCqa uPJTb2bsPqR0YZkqjCJXqESJaPu4Aw8qb5lbONqchrHHhJIQREpK2zgn7/tk6OU5 PNrQ59GCMsfHOksUh/gPXGFJ5zHBJ/JH/dCkGes2YNvbxoQLiQH8NZ6+f8MtWWk/ cQ89uiEeTSuHiBZiXz1fxnnw3NsU7i7itUy8EeTLXIZe//Az++3bbhpPsjcUmFsS XmTOzOiKXsP9mlfeRNwoUXrr1BvSSlZLtDDM2GtYGksy5Jtwlz4W3VH51kBJsafG wISQ3TiH7vQfGpjuJpGXyvdceqKQDlnRsXW7l4HkEmABEKMDE65BVGnJLGnHKDrT +/TBB77wL3HnPq36xoKT =jJSk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --D2bChttLNBDtdSapRFVK3tAMoODc78ktl--
