AFFECTS: all ports users
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The ports tree has gained "flavors," which are a way to produce multiple
variations of a port. Some intended examples of this are language
modules being produced for multiple language versions, and lite/nox11 packages,
without needing separate ports for each variation. Python ports have already
been flavored (see the below entry). Flavor support must be added to
individual ports.
Flavors are already supported by make, pkg, poudriere, and synth; see the
manpages for those tools for usage instructions. Portmaster and portupgrade
don't support flavors yet, but community work on those tools is in progress.
Some bumps and breakages are inevitable for a major change such as this.
Please report breakages and monitor the ports@ list for solutions as they
become available.
