Hello, I've been working on displaying the pkg-message information on FreshPorts. [1] Part of this involves parsing the file via ucl_tool (textproc/libucl) - along the way I have been finding broken pkg-message files and fixing them. I have created a task[2] for myself to add a sanity check to FreshPorts so committers get instant notification. [3] It might also be useful to have a pre-commit hook cover this. I could use help correctly the broken entries in the ports tree. I do not have time to fix them myself. I can provide starting points: * use this search term on your search engine: site:freshports.org "WARNING: The FreshPorts parser failed. ucl_tool failed. Please report this" * write a small shell script to find broken UCL I think the former is a short list, but will not find everything. The shell script is sort of like this: find /usr/ports -name pkg-message -exec another-script Where that other script does this: /usr/local/bin/ucl_tool --in FILE --format json If [ $? <> 0] ;then #this one needs fixing fi That should find most, but you also want to look for pkg-message.in I started this search through the cache: [aws-1-nginx01 dan ~] % sudo grep -rl 'The FreshPorts parser failed' ~freshports/cache/ports/* devel/kf5-solid devel/kyua games/shockolate net/endlessh net/py-wsdd The output has been modified to show just the category/port name.
