Does flavors allow build/test multiple packages based on multiple python versions and multiple architectures and different options?
Flavors is a good step in the right direction but there are people with a lot more experience with way more complicated build systems than FreeBSD. I provided some links for you guys to take a look at. "We already have flavors" is a very arrogant answer that totally misses the point of my email.
