Come on guys you can=E2=80=99t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Yes I got caught out by flavours too, but it was quickly fixed and it adds a much needed feature which will make ports and associated tools better at the end of the day. People really seem to miss the point that there are only finite resources and as an open source project that depends on people volunteering their time to add new features and maintain tools. A number of the messages to this thread really don=E2=80=99t seem to apprec= iate that and they come across very poorly. Sure it would it be nice if everyone=E2=80=99s favourite tool was always ma= intained in good time but that can=E2=80=99t always be the case, however if anyone r= eally wants something, they can chip in and make it happen, thats the beauty of open source projects. For those who are considering migrating to something else, would your time not be better spent chipping in to help? When we adopted poudriere at work, it really enabled us to make much quicker progress than we had been able to do with portmaster, so for those that havent tried it its well worth a shot if your previous favourite tool hasn=E2=80=99t been updated yet.
