I upgraded my development copy of FreshPorts and ran into a problem. I kept seeing this in the logs: Jun 26 11:30:15 ngaio FreshPorts[37555]: sleeping after svn up failed for (/wdc/dan/PORTS-SVN ” 321793) Jun 26 11:34:25 ngaio FreshPorts[38219]: sleeping after svn up failed for (/wdc/dan/PORTS-SVN ” 321794) Jun 26 11:02:09 ngaio FreshPorts[30361]: sleeping after svn

After a little bit of work, prompted by koobs, I’ve made the following code changes. Lines 8-10 added a time value to the top of the page. This was intended to let the user know when they last refreshed this page. Lines 18-20 let me know how long it took to generate a given page.
