Flavors in pkg

[mumu]

Hi, is there any work being done on adding flavors to binary pkg's similar to the one used by OpenBSD ?

Flavors are essentially different variations of the same port. So rather than compiling I'd just search for a different variant of that port(no_x11) and install that instead.

Packages come already in flavors, for example devel/git

 # pwd
/usr/ports/devel/git

 # make -V FLAVORS
default lite tiny

 # make flavors-package-names
git-2.45.2_1
git-lite-2.45.2_1
git-tiny-2.45.2_1

Is this on certain packages or most of them ?

Every port which has flavors. All packages are build from ports.

I'll take a look. Thanks.

One can search in the package repository catalogue for all packages with flavors, for example:
pkg search -L origin -Q annotation -g '*' | less -p flavor

Without -L origin the output is numeric sorted after package name.
