Not in this thread, no it hasn't.  I went digging and found that it has been
mentions in some of the other 7 separate "The ports collection has some
serious issues" that you have started.

Well, I pointed it out to you in February this year and after 10 months,
nothing has changed, including your persistent desire to get rid of
portmaster, despite the fact that synth is not a suitable replacement.

I insist that you retract that insult.  In this thread, without any
qualification, you stated that anyone who used portmaster or portupgrade
should swap to synth, and gave a process which you know will only work on
i386 and amd64.

I haven't investigated because I haven't had the the need to.
