I understand that maintaining slave ports was time consuming, but at least the slave ports were easily visible to users. This is made even worse by the fa= ct that there is no documentation (at all) about flavors from a user/sysadmin point of view; the only documentation I can find is for port maintainers. As I see it, there would be 2 easy ways to make port flavors more sysadmin friendly: Add a flavor selection dialog before the port options dialog. Or bring back the slave port directories, but with a Makefile that just bui= lds the original port in the selected flavor. On top of that, a section in the FreeBSD handbook explaining flavors would = be a good idea. Thanks for considering, Rob --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
