If anything in that direction is discussed, then please include
me in the thread (since I do read the list, but I'm not able to
follow it closely, currently).

I had asked about multi-flavour support nearly one-and-a-half year
ago and I was told that lack of support for more than one flavour
was by design and considered to be the correct concept.

There are quite a number of other weaknesses in the way flavours
are currently implemented (and it cost me a lot of effort to work
around them, when I took over maintainer-ship of portmaster to make
it support flavours).

I had given up trying top get this fixed, but it may be the right
time (given some experience with flavoured ports) to reconsider
some of the design and implementation choices made ...

Regards, STefan
