I thought I didn't have devel/gperf, then later it occurred to me that synth might have hidden it in the repository without installing it. Earlier, I thought I didn't have ninja installed but later found it hidden in synth's repository. Is there any way to make synth install build dependencies? Gentoo Portage has "--with-bdeps=y". I don't know how poudriere behaves in this regard. I believe STefan Esser has a new, revamped portmaster in the works, but have no idea of progress so far. Tom
