(If you're not familiar with it, it is a system that allows you to browse data gathered about certain aspects of the Ports Collection, with primary emphasis on both Problem Reports, and also build errors as seen on the ports build cluster.) The upshot of these changes is that it's now a little easier to navigate around from report to report and it's a little bit easier to understand what each report is showing you. While many of these changes will only be of use to ports committers and maintainers, end-users may find them useful as well. - The 'everything about one port' page now disables wildcard matches on category and portname by default, so that FreshPorts can grow a link to that page. (For instance, until now, if you created a URL for the page for 'www/apache', that page would also contain data for 'www/apache2'.) The old behavior can be re-enabled with '&wildcard=yes'. - The same page now has a link back to the FreshPorts page for that port. - The same page once again is showing the URL for the port. Thanks to Edwin Groothuis for noticing the problem. - Any maintainer name in any report is now a link to the report 'show the status of all ports for this maintainer.' - Any build error label in most reports is now a link to the report 'show the status of all ports for this build error type.' That report itself, while not new, had been basically hidden until now. The exception is the 'everything about one port' page, where the link takes you to the individual error log on pointyhat. (This distinction is clearer in context than it sounds.) - Text that is displayed about what's in each column of each report has been reworked to correspond to the above changes; ones that were missing were added. - Build errorlogs from the alpha machines are once again available (4.X only). - The static HTML documents were tweaked up a bit. This is the first large code update in a number of months so I expect there to be bugs. Please let me know when you find them. Mark Linimon
