Over the weekend, a new feature was added to FreshPorts BETA. A port
now lists all ports that require it. This code will eventually move to
production after it's been running on on the beta site for a while.
Notes:
* The code uses the output of make -V RUN_DEPENDS -V LIB_DEPENDS -V
BUILD_DEPENDS
* Only the default build is queried
* This is not recursive.
For example, at
http://beta.freshports.org/graphics/png/
You will find:
Required by:
for Build
graphics/iiview graphics/optar graphics/tumbler
for Libraries
astro/astrometry astro/celestia astro/celestia-gnome [long list snipped]
