And by God I think it's done. Took about 5 days to get the outstanding tarballs built. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out which ones those were -- ones with timestamps after my first post.
Not surprising, I suppose. I haven't built packages from src for a while but I remember the case of it having to build multiple GCC versions to satisfy Make requirements - insane. It was even worse for those projects that require XX version of Ninja or Cmake or whatever. At the end of the build you had like 20 versions of them!!! (A bit hyperbolic, of course). This afflicts ALL *BSDs (and probably Linux-kernel OS's as well?). So 5 days seems quite fast, all these issues considered. Regards, Max.
