Just found out the flavored ports will end the necessity of slave ports.
Imho that is a great solution, as oneport can result in many packages (no need to build you packages as the created port package is more flexible).

What I still ask myself:

- what if another program in that package releases a new version- you just only recompile that port including the update?
- what effect does this have on precompiled ports?

Kurt, thanks for this.
Can you tell me why this flavored mode has been introduced?
Does that mean that if I install a port that will not have this php-version string, it is either not used by php or is not yet ready to be used in flavored mode?

Best regards, Jos

I think it happens because databases/phpmyadmin was modified to work with
every php version (it was 'flavored'). So the php-version is now part
of PKGNAME.

To fix it, this should work:

pkg delete phpmyadmin

pkg install phpmyadmin
