Slightly later than planned (real life getting in the way I'm afraid), here's the third (and I hope final) beta version: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/portindex/portindex-0.3.tar.bz2 This incorporates various bug fixes and feedback from earlier versions. Significant changes: - Object hierarchy reorganized. It no longer clashes with the pre-existing FreeBSD::Ports modules. Unfortunately this does mean that everyone will have to reinitialise their caches from scratch. - Added a new 'find-updated' program which searched the ports tree for ports contining files modified after a specified date and prints out a list of those ports suitable for feeding into cache-update's plain mode. (This is completely independent of cvsup(1), for those that don't use cvsup) - Fixed the bug where a SUBDIR entry in a Makefile wouldn't be recognised if there was a comment on the same line. - Uses a separate file to record the time/date that the cache was last modified: can't use the mtime of the cache Btree files themselves, as that is modified even for read-only access. As ever, comments, criticisms gratefully received. Barring reports of egregious bugs, the next step will be add all of the MakeMaker gubbins and submit this as a port.
