Wesley Shields (wxs@) wrote in to point out that the commits for Mk/bsd.sites.mk where not showing up correctly. Not sure if you know about this or not but it appears that (at least) Mk/bsd.sites.mk is not being properly updated on freshports since August 5. I compared these two URLS: http://www.freshports.org/Mk/bsd.sites.mk http://dev.freshports.org/Mk/bsd.sites.mk Yep. The full commits […]

FreshPorts has a web page caching issue for all non-port commits. This also affects commits in the ports tree that do not touch a port. e.g. Mk, Tools, etc. I hope to fix it later this week. dev does not have this problem. beta & www do.

I recently discovered that for some pathnames, the URL is incorrect. For an example, look at http://www.freshports.org/japanese/im-ja/files/patch-src_xim_Makefile.in. Click on the first file listed there: devel/gdb6/files/patch-i386%nm-fbsd64.h The URL should be http://www.freshports.org/devel/gdb6/files/patch-i386%25nm-fbsd64.h. That is, the embedded % should appear in the URL as %25, which is the hexadecimal value for a percent-sign. A simple solution, using PHP,

When is a port not a port? When it was deleted before the ports_categories table was introduced. I noticed that some long-deleted ports were not displaying correctly. For example: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/cdrecord/ It was displaying as a non-port, but it clearly was a port, although deleted. I tracked the problem down to this stored procedure: CREATE OR
