Many of you are aware that for some time I've been working on creating a set of HTML reports that allow for data-mining the FreeBSD Problem Reports and the bento port build errorlogs. Thanks to the loan of a machine from Will Andrews (thanks Will), there is now a machine with reasonable bandwidth that is totally dedicated to this function, located at: <a href="http://portsmon.firepipe.net">portsmon.firepipe.net</a>. The reports are intendend to be a way for general users, as well as ports maintainers and committers, to be able to work with information about ports, without having to go through repetetive searches amongst GNATS and the bento errorlogs themselves. In addition, links are provided that can take you directly to the CVS web pages in addition to each PR or errorlog. The reports are currently updated once an hour. The development version of this code has been running on my home machine for quite some time and (despite the usual bugs) is quite stable. At the top of the index page, you'll find a link to a brief set of FAQs that try to answer the expected questions. However, if you have other questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me, either at this address, or at lonesome.com or FreeBSD.org, and I'll try to answer them. My goal in creating these reports is to try to get the best possible results out of our existing ports infrastructure for as many people as possible. It's been a very interesting learning experience all the way. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback from a wider community now. Mark Linimon
