Hello.

The number of packages will be inflated relative to the number of origins because FLAVORS uses PKGNAMEPREFIX and PKGNAMESUFFIX.
Therefore, something like BUILD_ALL_PYTHON_FLAVORS should not be used continuously for purposes other than development and debugging.

Ports for which the origin directory no longer exists, and whose description no longer exists from MOVED (e.g. www/seamonkey), seem to remain in the package forever.
It is better to run poudriere-pkgclean regularly.

Would checking that area reduce that number?

Regards.
