Hello, Some time ago I've started a thread on freebsd-ports@ regarding an interactive tool for installing packages under FreeBSD - pkg_add_it.
Now that I got some time to work on the program, I have added a few additional features to it, which I think someone might find useful like: - dependencies tree view of packages (useful to find out package dependencies) - a similar tool that does this already exists - pkg_tree, but it only works for installed ports, while pkg_add_it can show you every package from INDEX - regex support - displays categories and packages from each of them found in INDEX - some code improvements, etc... The code can be found here [1] and in order to install the program, you need to: # git clone git://git.unix-heaven.org/public/pkg_add_it # cd pkg_add_it && make install clean I still haven't updated the manual pages yet, but you can read something about the program on the web page [2]. Screenshots can be seen as well. [3] Would be nice if someone can test it, and provide some feedback - what can be removed, improved, added, etc.. Surely, there's room for improvement, but that's a start.. :) Thanks, Marin [1] git.unix-heaven.org [2] www.unix-heaven.org/index.php?page=pkg_add_it [3] http://www.unix-heaven.org/pkg_add_it-new-gfx/ -- Marin Atanasov Nikolov dnaeon AT gmail DOT com daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org http://www.unix-heaven.org/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
