This will cause the ports framework to create the plist automatically
for distutils-based ports. All files installed via Python's distutils
mechanisms (either the traditional distutils or easy_install) will be
automtically added to the package list, regardless of the Python
version. It is somewhat similar to the RUBYGEM_AUTOPLIST knob.
- Introduce a new port Makefile knob PYTHON_PY3K_PLIST_HACK.
This automatically replaces .pyc and .pyo package list entries with
the relevant __pycache__ entries for Python 3.x. It should only be
used for ports, which do not use one of Python's default package
installation mechanisms and which are guaranteed to work with any
python version.
This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports
For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
for the latest official version
or:
The ports(7) manual page (man ports).
These will explain how to use ports and packages.
If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by
saying (in /usr/ports):
make search name="<name>"
or:
make search key="<keyword>"
which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>.
make search also supports wildcards, such as:
make search name="gtk*"
For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's
Handbook, available at:

NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect.
