FWIW, I'm a happy portupgrade user. Yes - sometimes it breaks, but it is quite rare, and I am able to fix the breakage when it happens. So for me it is "good enough". >>And I'm not at all interested in running poudriere >>or synth, thank you. > > Interestingly, the most vocal proponent of deleting portmaster and > portupgrade is the author/maintainer of synch. I won't say "never". But I feel that both package builders (poudriere, synth) need some more time to shake out more issues / bugs and get into a better shape first. This isn't based on any specific problems or bugs, more a "felleing2 based on people's feedback in the forums and on mailing lists. If I was interested in package builders, I would spend some time helping to test them. Since my interests related to FreeBSD is on other things / tools / whatever, I spend my "FreeBSD time" on those other things instead.
