portmaster is a freebsd "package manager" for managing installation and uninstallation of ports. Sort of analogous to the "formula" function of brew where it's compiled in-situ... with your local march!
Oh, wow. Glad I asked. I thought you mean port but while they are related it is something I’ve never heard of.
Brew has transitioned into primarily bottled (pre-compiled binary). Compiling with the local march sounds great and it is quite difficult to find one consistently do that. On top of that, I’m trying to look for one that can be installed on arbitrary prefix too and recently I’ve been eyeing on pkgsrc, gentoo prefix, and spack.
