Yeah, for ports, it would work without issue. If the option is nonexistent, it would be simply ignored. But for flavor, you could see a plenty of errors, IIRC, basically just annoying, though. It appeared at the very beginning of builds and (not precise but) mostly "false positives", but could cause building the dependencies of errored-out ports not to be started. Hope my script (and its README.md shown) linked below help a bit more to understand. https://brew.bsd.cafe/TomAoki/sh_scripts/src/branch/main/poudlist-all I'm using this script (actually setting more in the BLOCKLIST) to generate list of all installed ports with flavors, excluding too large leaf ports to use with -f option of `poudriere bulk`. If you want to switch qt5 ports to qt6 in existing installation and building pkgs with poudriere locally, you can open the generated list in an editor you prefer, search for "@qt5" and replace it with "@qt6" would be convenient. -- Tomoaki AOKI <[email protected]>
