A lot more is possible such as adding other search engines. Develop some optional "quality feedback" mechanism for maintainers having ports that required a distfile to be looked up. Also, the script pulls in a lot of p5- dependencies. Makeing the actual script a port and have ports/Mk/* provide the necessary hooks could be a solution.

One possible enhancement might be to also (conditionally?) search for the size from distinfo; this is particularly useful when dealing with distfiles which lack a version number. -- Shaun Amott // PGP: 0x6B387A9A "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." - Ralph Waldo Emerson _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" |
