Hello there!
I made a small program that perhaps may be of interest to some port
maintainers.
It's called portlint2 (https://github.com/HubTou/portlint2), and it
checks the ports Index file and the port's makefiles, for the whole port
tree, or for selected categories / maintainers / ports.
On a freshly updated port Index and port tree, it will produce a summary
of findings like this:
Selected 34434 ports out of 34434 in the FreeBSD port tree, and found:
4 ports with unusual installation-prefix (warning)
339 ports with a comment string exceeding 70 characters (warning)
286 ports with an uncapitalized comment
11 ports comment ending with a dot
108 ports with a comment different between the Index and Makefile
2 ports with non existent description-file
4 ports with a maintainer different between the Index and Makefile
34 ports referring to unofficial categories (warning)
262 ports with categories different between the Index and Makefile
1251 ports with no www-site
300 ports with an unresolvable www-site hostname
658 ports with an unaccessible www-site
2 ports with a www-site different betwwen the Index and makefile
There are other checks, but it only prints summary lines for those with 1+
occurrences.
Before this summary, it prints a list of affected ports per maintainer, for
example like this:

It also produces more detailed error logs on stderr.
I hope it will be useful to others.
I needed this because I have another program that mass checks Python ports for
unreported vulnerabilities,
which needs an up-to-date and correct information in the ports Index to be
relevant...
Best regards,
Hubert
