The /usr/Ports/packages.db will be used later for tracking available
ports by the upcoming package manager, which will use it to do search
queries, providing metadata on available ports, etc.
Ports that are installed will be registered from now on in the file of
/usr/Ports/installed.db, so that file will be used later on to allow
further management of what is actually installed on the system.

Here's a short statistic of the occurrences of the word "behavio(u)r":
$ git grep -IPioh 'behaviou?r' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
2 BEHAVIOR
24 Behaviour
32 behaviour
407 Behavior
992 behavior
Therefore, it is clear that "behaviour" (56 occurrences) should be
regarded a typo, and "behavior" (1401 occurrences) should be preferred.
Note that The occurrences in LibJS are intentionally NOT changed,
because there are taken verbatim from the specification. Hence:
$ git grep -IPioh 'behaviou?r' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
2 BEHAVIOR
10 behaviour
24 Behaviour
407 Behavior
1014 behavior
Some ports may have more than one `config.sub` that is in use (vendored
dependencies, etc.). Instead of fiddling about with space-delimited
strings, let's just make that setting into an array right away.
Only 'sha256' or 'sig' are allowed in the 'auth_type' field in order for
the linter to pass. Reflect that into the README and give a description
on what to do to create a hash.
Also expand the examples to include a SHA256 hash.
The README previously described `depends` as a space-separated
string. This is now changed to an array, which seem to be the
correct type used in the other Ports.
This adds an overridable pre_fetch method which is called from the fetch
method at the very beginning.
The pre_fetch method can be overridden in your package.sh script so that
you can do any necessary preparations before the fetch method is called.
- Replaced /Root with
- Improved documentation.
- Removed a few typos.
- Replaced with
- Added brackets in some cases.
Most of the changes were reviewed and applied manually.
We now follow a common capitalization throughout the project:
./Ports/openssh/ReadMe.md
./Ports/python3/patches/ReadMe.md
./Ports/ReadMe.md
./Meta/Lagom/ReadMe.md
./ReadMe.md
This filename is still obvious enough to be seen immediately.
When removing and recreating the Build directory, it's quite annoying
having to edit/remove Ports/packages.db as the installer won't install
previously installed port dependencies again if they're still listed.
This problem is easily solved by just considering packages.db a
build-specific file.
This adds a separate Markdown document comtaining a table with all
available ports, including name, version number and website.
This should make it easier to get an overview of what's available or
learn more about ports one is not familiar with, as well as checking the
current version of each port (many are outdated by now, and the version
being hidden in the package.sh script doesn't improve that situation)
and spotting ports with no defined version (i.e. install from the main
branch), which can break easily and should be avoided.
Please keep this list in sync when adding or updating ports. :^)
Much redundancy is removed from package scripts with this system.
It also supports simple dependency management, uninstalling (through
BSD ports style plist files), cleaning up after itself (with clean,
clean_dist, clean_all commands), etc.
