Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 barracuda156]:
 > Boost portgroup should take care of finding the right boost. If it fails
 with papilo, then it is a PG issue.

 No, it is not. Upstream can pick whatever random variable/configure
 argument they decide on so it’s impossible for any PortGroup to make that
 work all the time. It’s the port maintainers/person doing the update to
 take care of it.
