Okay all you INDEX-browsing junkies out there, the latest update to PIB is out and happening! ftp://gsoft.com.au/pub/pib.tcl.gz - configurable (saveable) preferences! - more colour! - more speed! - online help! Thanks to Satoshi's changes to the files/md5 format, there are only two ports out of the 660 that I have online that are causing any trouble; pgp (uses files.usa and files.usa) and postgres95 (md5 files have different names). I'd really like to hear from someone with a large collection of distfiles, to hear how long the full scan takes. Running md5 over the thousand or so distfiles isn't going to be the quickest, and perhaps I need to implement a cache of some sorts for checksums... If people actually think this is worthwhile, I'd appreciate hearing from you (thanks Jordan and Satoshi 8); ideas and input are welcome, without them I might as well just dump it 8( I'm also a bit wary of blowing my own horn; should I perhaps be advertising PIB more widely? (Note to the curious; PIB is a browser for the FreeBSD ports collection. It requires Tk 4.0 or later installed, and, of course, a ports collection. It should also run on OpenBSD and NetBSD without modification!) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
