The very first result shows a port that contains *meta*data. What you want to do is probably: https://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=3Dmakefile&method=3Dmatch&query= =3Dmetaport&num=3D500&orderby=3Dport&orderbyupdown=3Dasc&search=3DSearch&fo= rmat=3Dhtml&minimal=3D1&branch=3Dhead Where you search for "metaport" in the Makefile, since metaports should USES=3Dmetaport as described in the handbook=20 https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#uses-metaport https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#staging "Metaports should use USES=3Dmetaport. It sets up defaults for ports that d= o not fetch, build, or install anything." IMHO, saying that a port is a metaport *in the description* shows the user = an internal detail he/she should not need at all. I rather have descriptions l= ike "The GNOME desktop environment" than what we have now ("Metaport for the GN= OME integrated X11 desktop"). >From the point of view of the user, is just a normal port. Also note the inconsistency in the descriptions: "meta-port", "meta port", "meta package"... --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
