            Bug ID: 199571
           Summary: ports-mgmt/portmaster: [change-request] please ban
                    portmaster
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: torsten.eichstaedt at web.de

Rationale: portmaster is a >4000 (!!!) line shell script.  It's common sense
that shell scripts are ok for small tasks but quickly become unmaintanable once
they grow.

Portmaster should simply do "cd /usr/ports && make help"

Don't laugh I'm serious with this.
