Multipackages are more difficult, they frequently split WANTLIB up into "things that every subpackage needs" in one variable, which is then included in the various WANTLIB-* for other packages - there are also some issues with flavours where these affect the WANTLIB entries - but if we can just find a way to automate the common simple cases, the number of exceptions will be low enough that I don't mind doing them all by hand. One important thing is knowing which ports are too complicated and automatically skipping them. Syncing wantlib by hand is easy (though slow and error-prone when done in large numbers); spotting problems introduced by a tool that tries to "bite off more than it can chew" is a lot harder. > Hope to get qt5 update in today or tomorrow, > then I'll look what could be done in portbump. That would be great, thanks!
