For the rest of you, this is probably your first encounter. If not, the rumour mill works better than I think. FreshPorts is similar to freshmeat, but for ports. It shows you what ports have been recently updated and what ports have been recently added. You can also select those ports which you wish to watch. Eventually, mail notification will be sent out when a port on your watch list changes (but not right now). So please have a look, provide feedback, let me know what you think. There's still some substantial work to be be done on this website, but I think what's there will give you the overall idea of what can be done with the site. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome. Offers to code the improvements are even more welcome. My thanks to those that offered support, encouragement, hints, clues, and direction over the past few weeks. I know I've learned more about ports and php than I ever wanted to know... take care -- Dan Langille [I'm looking for more work] http://www.langille.org/ | http://www.unixathome.org/ http://www.racingsystem.com/ | http://www.freebsddiary.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
