[Bug 206922] Handbook: Chapter 4.5+ changes

[bugzilla-noreply at freebsd.org]

--- Comment #6 from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> ---
listen to me carefully this time:

1) This PR is not about "replacing" portmaster.
It is about REMOVING portmaster from the handbook because it is not meeting
quality requirements

2) It also about planning where to document synth.  That's a separate issue.

3) You comment about wide testing is now false.  Please stop spreading fud. 
And for extra credit, try it.

4) POUDRIERE can REPLACE portmaster on EVERY platform.

5) The "lots of dependencies" is FUD too. There's 1 unique dependency that
takes 10 minutes to build on a machine that 4 years old.  Everything else is
common to other ports, almost all common to lang/gcc which everyone needs.

Please focus on the actual topic.  Forget about Synth and pretend it does not
exist.  Even in that case, portmaster has failed to meet quality requirements
and should be removed from the handbook, PERIOD.
