But at the same time, reducing build times for Ports consumers has much lower priority for us than actually updating software. Daniel made sure that the switch doesn't cause circular dependencies which was a problem before. Because of that I approved the change, just for the sake of the "updating" part. Daniel is not being paid for this work, so if he's more comfortable with CMake (which I wholeheartedly understand!) it is a sufficient rationale for the switch. I believe no one will be against if you prepare a patch that will switch back to autotools and do the same amount of testing (500+ ports) that Daniel did. =3D=3D=3D arrowd with a portmgr-lurker hat on top
