I know that for the quarterly packages exist a quarterly ports branch, which only receive security updates. So my question is: is there a branch of ports for the latest packages or the latest packages are built from the current ports ("rolling release")? The first reason for my question is: as a "ports user" (I need some custom ports) rebuilding big ports like llvm, rust, gcc, node (like 4-5 times in a few days), etc. is frustrating and sometimes I can't even use my main machine. For those who are going to recommend me ports-mgmt/synth or ports-mgmt/poudriere please keep your advice for someone else because this machine is the only one which run FreeBSD at the moment and if I'd build my own repository of packages or using portmaster would be the same thing. The second reason is that if I could track the "latest ports branch" I could download those big ports as packages and install them with pkg. I know mixing ports with pkgs is a bad thing to do but the fact that I'm not able to use my pc for 4-5 hours also sucks.
PS. The machine does not have bad specs: i7 processor, 16GB, ssd, etc. still when times comes to rebuild ports I have to switch to my similar specs GNU/Linux machine but "the sensation" is not the same.
