No, I'm actively working on portmaster and have rewritten it from
scratch for better performance (and additional features, e.g. building
in a clean chroot jail, similar to synth or poudriere).

I have been using that version for more than one year, but the
functionality is not complete, yet.

On a test system with > 2200 installed ports it takes less than 10
seconds to identify the ~600 out-of-date ports (that I keep in this
state for testing of the upgrade strategy function), which is more
than 30 times faster than the same operation with the "official"
portmaster.

Until completion of that version, I'll continue to maintain and
update the current portmaster port ...

Regards, STefan
