Cool, the biggest issue I’ve always had with FreeBSD is figuring out how to do routine updates when I’ve installed ports.

If you're building some ports with custom options, check out Synth: https://github.com/jrmarino/synth

It downloads binary packages when it can & builds ports in parallel while showing a very nice ncurses UI :)

Can second Synth. I always used it on laptops where a full poudriere setup would have been overkill.

Also it’s written in Ada!

Cool, as a Lisper I have to support niche languages :)
