When copying INDEX to the server, copy it first to a staging area and
first then to the real location. The copying can take long enough for
users to get a truncated file when downloading during the upload.
time to add a new module. If you want to still use old way, just use
"-M freefall.FreeBSD.org" option
- Take addport maintainership
- When modulesupdate fail, ask user to retry
- Change modulesupdate to work fine with addport

When removing category/port - look if other ports' Makefiles contain
`/port' rather than `category/port', since the later misses things
like `${.CURDIR}/../port'
on the contents of the distinfo files.
#
# Small tool to find distinfo with missing MD5/SHA256/SIZE statements,
# based on the assumption that if there is one of the MD5/SHA256/SIZE
# statements, then there should be all of them (except for SIZE
# when MD5/SHA256 is set to IGNORE).

# Usage: distinfochecker [-v] [-d directory]
# -v - verbose (print)
# -d - use directory instead of /usr/ports

portsvar.sh
- print out variable defined through bsd.port.mk
example:
% portsvar.sh PORTSDIR OSVERSION
PORTSDIR = /usr/ports
OSVERSION = 600034
% portsvar.sh -e "PORTS[^_]"
PORTSDIR = /usr/ports
PORTSSUPFILE = /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
% portsvar.sh USE_RUBY=yes RUBY_VER RUBY_ARCH
RUBY_VER = 1.8
RUBY_ARCH = i386-freebsd6
% portsvar.sh -w ruby RUBY_VER RUBY_ARCH
RUBY_VER = 1.8
RUBY_ARCH = i386-freebsd6
% portsvar.sh -w kde -e KDE_
KDE_MAINTAINER = will@FreeBSD.org
KDE_ORIGVER = ${KDE_VERSION}
KDE_PREFIX = ${LOCALBASE}
KDE_VERSION = 3.5.0
MASTER_SITE_KDE_kde = ${kmaster:S@%SUBDIR%/@@g}
% portsvar.sh -a
list all variables through bsd.port.mk
% portsvar.sh -a -w kde
list all variables through bsd.port.mk including kde
portsvar.sh is easy tool to check out the variables used in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.*.mk.
The ports tree contains many tools with almost-similar names
and no helpful pkg-descr difference. The goal of pkg-descr
would be to aid the user in his choice of port version.
Ergo, similar pkg-descr files are bad.

You can even get notified of version changes in your favourite
perl modules by setting
WATCH_REGEX='p5-.*'
Plus, it has a nice configurable nagging option.
