The are about hundred new ports every two weeks and even more updated ports. Information is such amount is useless IMO. Though, if somebody feels like this tools is really needed, I think it should be rewritten to use freshports and placed into ports/Tools/scripts. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
