For example, for ipv6calc that is http://www.freebsd.org/ports/net.html#ipv6calc-0.34. Note the #ipv6calc-0.34. So if this guy releases a new version and I have made updated the port for it, he has to update his page. That's not so handy. When you look at the net.html you see links, via cgi-scripts, to the long description and the sources. Can't there come an additional cgi-script which lists all this information on one page? A little bit like the netbsd package page: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/net/ipv6calc/README.html I know you can look at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/net/ipv6calc but I would prefer a nice page like the NetBSD project.
