There's nothing in that statement that makes Synth "clearly superior" to portmaster. It suggests that Synth might be an alternative to poudriere. How does Synth handle ports that depend on themselves (Modula, Java and Go, off the top of my head)? Does this mean that if I already have a JDK installed, Synth is going to download one of the JDK packages anyway, just so it can build a new JDK in a "clean" environment? And there are also a number of cases where a port's dependency can be fulfilled by a number of unrelated ports - eg graphics/jpeg and graphics/jpeg-turbo can both fulfil a dependency on libjpeg.so. How does Synth decide which to use? --=20 Peter Jeremy --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJWuETxXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFRUIyOTg2QzMwNjcxRTc0RTY1QzIyN0Ux NkE1OTdBMEU0QTIwQjM0AAoJEBall6Dkogs0GMIP/30XMpdU8vIdUb3q/hZo3HGL Imh2JDya4UQmnUzO5oUrZy1I4k+1D2qdzUa8PJsOoO4iMXd4BvraekjVAVvFoudZ Cuk4C5Vzb7X4sZyFpEnX6DgL6pUjEQ5MUG71PfrOnwvzA+7dJVaingWbNsbw/F03 fNDN0Lesj9gFv6UNGZThQg9wHtJlu8vm0M3S5UmaGHOGteoytz9tVv1VXPp1FnWf YjTb6B16XozrUyVoadCtQK/F2V91mbZq/VBT8/I2gr21aA0fHysYndprIlSKX121 5bSB/n3KyySEZL6XI1cRJ/yrHKzCBR2MCddAeNJmq02HNR0FCOW6rDIWYCWD8B1o eJ2L2DPvdUmZsGI9LDdn7HMPhDD9fBckYizp8brzboklZH71ILycmVWUJPrMLqL5 6PTLaA/lv4X2yqlUY4VigUFgDBIoJhyQk9lpC4zVn+ikgSf4Uivt9k9RHLcE3Ueh QAtHB4Iu/X/sPB5CbAdBmTW0mLSYpdR1BM6p9pp0XQlGi/ZdojFfwnN5RsX62kzR 8uRXkhrrRjgIVcGd3RqUnGp3jFrre7ncOi+azRe4mOVCmThiR0J8vaQkFDVxGkv9 GwJFyLaXmLX9ov7O6OikmufNrh30cXqrhyaK4eZuM9S8icLPez24EJJVM113PjuU EEBwXIInjH4+JS5kr7Ny =z5Ay -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2--
