What's Missing?
- Information about ports that build successfully (produce packages)
- Currently, there is no way to find out "how far is package foo
behind port foo?"
- Time-consuming, due to ftp listings being slow
- alpha-quality code exists for the front-end but is not
integrated
- Information about port status on other than i386-CURRENT
- Currently, there is no way to answer "what packages aren't
built on amd64" or "what packages aren"t built on -STABLE?"
- Requires multiple iterations through make -V
- Information about ports with fetch failures
(See discussion about "Fenner's distfile survey" below)
- Information about ports that need updating
(See discussion about "ports-PR-assigned" below)
- Information about ports commits over time
(Currently, there is no way to find out "when was the last time that
maintainer foo was active?")
