Ports Search

psearch is an utility for searching the FreeBSD Ports Collection. It allows you to use regular expressions, and has support for searching the long description (pkg-descr files), as well as inverse matches that allow filtering of ports.

The VuXML Query Tool, vxquery, is a simple utility for selecting entries from a VuXML document by package name and version. Suggested usage: /bin/ls /var/db/pkg | vxquery -f - /usr/ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml

Rak is a grep replacement in pure Ruby. It accepts Ruby syntax regular expressions and automatically recurses directories, skipping .svn/, .cvs/, pkg/ and more things you don't care about. It is based on the Perl tool.

The octave-forge package is the result of The GNU Octave Repositry project, which is intended to be a central location for custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave. contains the source for all the functions plus build and install scripts. This baseport provides the basic directory structure, and installs a script "load-octave-pkg", that synchronizes the FreeBSD ports structure to the octave packaging system. Another purpose of the script "load-octave-pkg" is to attempt to correct any errors created by the octave packaging system.

This program generates a graph (in PNG format) showing the revisions, tags, and branching of a file in a CVS or RCS repository. Example: cvsgraph -r /home/ncvs -m ports/devel/cvsgraph -o test.png pkg-descr,v It can also be used with cvsweb. A patch to cvsweb is available through the cvsgraph home page. Trevor Johnson

pycountry provides the ISO databases for the standards: -- 639: Languages -- 3166: Countries -- 3166-2: Subdivisions of countries -- 4217: Currencies -- 15924: Scripts The package includes a copy from Debian's pkg-isocodes and makes the data accessible through a Python API. Translation files for the various strings are included as well.

This is a port of Apogee's 3D action title Rise of the Triad, originally released in 1994. This port duplicates the functionality of the original game on modern operating systems, including Linux, Win32, OSX and now FreeBSD. In order to run game you'll need either the original game data or a shareware version (see pkg-message).

This program reads /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite and compares install timestamp with date in $FreeBSD header in the Makefile of the port. If there is no $FreeBSD header then it is assumed to be a beta port. Chucky also features a shar file backup feature, which is normally used to backup 'beta' development ports.

Portsearch allows searching for ports that install some file, like ``find /usr/ports -name pkg-plist |xargs grep pattern'' but honoring PLIST_(FILES|DIRS) and %%FOOBAR%% variables. It also supports searching for ports by name, key (name, comment or dependencies), path, info (comment), maintainer, category, fetch, extract, patch, build and run dependencies and www site.

A special meta-port to do nothing but register dependencies on those ports you specifically want to have installed. The normal dependency checking in programs like pkg_delete(1) will prevent easy deletion of ports that other ports depend on. Keeps egg off face. Protects feet from being shot.
