The concept looks very interesting. I can see an immediate advantage
in allowing cross-platform developers and other interested parties to
keep track of changes made to areas of interest in various CVS trees
(e.g. FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc...). You should have no problem
incorporating commit messages from major repositories into your system.
I'm afraid I don't have time to work on FreshPorts myself, I have a
dozen other things on the burner :-), but it sounds good!

:I've just seen Matt Dillon's email on this topic
:(200206042302.g54N2LHR099341@apollo.backplane.com). I immediately thought
:about the overlap between two projects.
:
:FreshSource (http://www.FreshSource.org) will allow you to express
:interest in particular sections of the source tree. Interest can be
:expressed on a file or directory level and placed on a watch list. You
:will be emailed any commits which occur to items on your watch list (e.g.
:one email on a daily basis).
:
:Those familiar with FreshPorts will already be familiar with the service
:described above. FreshSource will behave similarly but will cover all
:commits, not just those in the ports tree.
