At least you can set it up how you want. a simple quick-together script running on my computer: https://dx.burplex.com/FreeBSD-ports/index.php there's a github link at the bottom of the page you can hack on if you wanna. cool thing is you can easily cross-reference all the corresponding gnats PR files in your mailbox to the generated port page, i'll add that bit tomorrow. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975
