The ports tree continues to evolve. Major new features are planned
and in the process of being implemented. These changes will break all
the port-building tools.
poudriere and synth are actively developed, so they will quickly
support the new changes. portmaster and portupgrade are no longer
being actively developed, so it is anticipated that they will stop
working until somebody fixes them (if at all).
While i'm the maintainer of portmaster i want to emphasize this. Keeping
portmaster up to date is very hard. Even small changes which are double
checked already broke something. Its a little frustrating.
BUT: there is an ongoing attempt to rewrite portmaster with an
test-driven approach to make live much easier. But this will take time.
When having a decent hardware poudriere and synth are a good choice, you
should definitely check out!

Torsten
