Just a heads up that MacPorts is now listed on a site that details all of the packages carried by a wide variety of repositories:
https://repology.org/repository/macports From a MacPorts developer standpoint, it is not a huge deal but there are a couple of useful features. If you look up your maintainer address, you can see at a glance if any of your packages are outdated. This isn’t perfect—for one of mine, another repo has an apparently bogus version that is ahead of the current release. Still, most of the comparisons are valid. Another feature is that Repology tests all of the URL’s related to a port and identifies redirects and other concerns. It is always good to get the details right and this gives you a specific list. Click on your Known Problems link. Another potiential use is when developing a new port. If you look up the package, you can see details like the names most commonly used, cataegories, descriptions, and licence. Could save a few moments of pondering. BTW, I was surprised to look up “nomaintainer”. This poor fellow is looking after 9,590 packages and 3,068 of them are outdated! Looks like s/he needs some help! Craig
