    Ports Dependency management

    Hello, I've been noticing some strange behavior with the ports lately. Indeed, following the end-of-life of misc/getopt, I uninstalled it manually via a make deinstall clean and then installed its suggested replacement, devel/util-linux. Just to be sure, I recompiled/installed the port that...

    portmaster best practices?

    I compile all of my own ports into packages and keep the distfiles so I can rebuild it all offline if need be. I recently switched over to the 2020Q4 ports tree. Normally, my process is svn update (in /usr/ports), portmaster -a -B -D -G -y --no-confirm -g. This seems to work pretty well when...

    Dear forum, first if all I hope that I'm posting in the correct forum. Please correct me if it's wrong. I noticed that there is a lot of traffic while upgrading ports with portmaster.

    Deterministic Software Install/Maintenance Method
