This has been mentioned several times as a "solution", but I really don't understand it. What other OS would be comparatively equal in this functionality? Other than Gentoo, you'd have hard time compiling individual packages, in a binary-precompiled-packages-based OS. Sure there are source DEBs or RPMs, but keeping track of custom built ones is not as easy as flipping a few options and running `poudriere bulk` every now and then. Which then means, you can already use binary-precompiled packages here in FreeBSD. Even more so now with FLAVORS, as the packages will be built with some common option variations which would match exactly what's done, say in Debian based distros. Honest question, I really am interested. -- Vlad K.
