We need someone who rewrite our ports INDEX perl scripts.
The first step is to write a ports INDEX perl Module.
Contact: wosch@freebsd.org
1. A single line in /usr/ports/INDEX looks like:
xfig-3.2.2|/usr/ports/graphics/xfig|/usr/X11R6|A drawing program for X11|/usr/ports/graphics/xfig/pkg/DESCR|ports@FreeBSD.ORG|graphics x11|XFree86-3.3.2 Xaw3d-1.3 jpeg-6b xpm-3.4k|XFree86-3.3.2 Xaw3d-1.3 jpeg-6b netpbm-94.3.1 tiff-3.4 transfig-3.2 xpm-3.4k
2. The format is
distribution-name|port-path|installation-prefix|comment| \
description-file|maintainer|categories|build deps|run deps
3. The above INDEX line parsed into an anonymous hash object:
$port = {
DISTRIBUTION_NAME => 'xfig-3.2.2',
PORT_PATH => '/usr/ports/graphics/xfig',
INSTALLATION_PREFIX => '/usr/X11R6',
COMMENT => 'A drawing program for X11',
DESCRIPTION_FILE => '/usr/ports/graphics/xfig/pkg/DESCR',
MAINTAINER => 'ports@FreeBSD.ORG',
CATEGORIES => ['graphics', 'x11'],
BUILD_DEPS => ['XFree86-3.3.2', 'Xaw3d-1.3', 'jpeg-6b',
'xpm-3.4k'],
RUN_DEPS => ['XFree86-3.3.2', 'Xaw3d-1.3', 'jpeg-6b',
'netpbm-94.3.1', 'tiff-3.4', 'transfig-3.2',
'xpm-3.4k']
};
4. Now we need some functions:
Print a $port object as HTML output
Print a $port object as ASCII output
Find all objects which are maintained by user XYZ
Find all objects which are in category XYZ
Find all objects which run/build depend on port XYZ
Find all objects which match the string XYZ in DISTRIBUTION_NAME
or COMMENT
Sort objects by DISTRIBUTION_NAME
5. Finally, modify the cgi script url.cgi, ports.cgi , pds.cgi
and the script portindex to use this module.
