Vote for your TOP n ports
On August 9, Mark Linimon was talking about having users rank ports. The goal being to approximate a list of ‘key’ ports. I suggested allowing people to nominate their top N ports. And only N. They can change their selection at any time. It would be like a vote or poll, but you get to

Virtual categories have no descriptions
On FreshPorts, virtual categories have no description. What are virtual cagtegories? Those categories that do not have a corresponding subdirectory in the ports tree.

How much is that distfile in the port?
A user recently asked if we could show the size of the port/package. Getting the size of the distfiles is relatively easy. It’s in the distinfo file. For slave ports, we already know the master port, so we get the information from there. It might also be nice to show the size of the package.
