Description Shaun Amott 2006-05-20 01:10:19 UTC 
I would like to propose a new category addition to the ports tree.

The proposed category is "ports-mgmt", and would contain "everything
related to managing, tweaking and digging through the ports collection
itself."

There are 39 candidates for this new category, listed here:
http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/ports_2dmgmt

(plus misc/instant-tinderbox, which I discovered since then)

I have a few planned contributions to ports which would end up in this
category too.

Currently, there are quite a few very useful utilities in the tree for
managing, installing, etc., ports. But they are buried in the existing
categories, and are not particularly easy to find. Most of them are
very specifically related to ports management.

There have been a number of heated debates on freebsd-ports /
freebsd-questions lately that might not have happened had some of these
tools been known about.

This proposal has been put to the freebsd-ports mailing list, and the
general response was positive, with almost everyone liking the new idea.

"portutils" was also a popular choice for the category, but I feel the
above proposed name is more descriptive, and fits in with the naming
scheme used by other categories.

The only opposition to this category has been due to its size. However,
it has been pointed out that there are plenty of even smaller
categories. Additionally, I feel that this category is very specific and
the potential benefit to end-users outweighs this concern.

Please find below :

- A patch to change all the affected ports' CATEGORIES variables
- A patch to remove all the affected ports from their current categories
- A patch to fix ports depending on the affected ports
- A patch to add ports-mgmt to VALID_CATEGORIES in Mk/bsd.port.mk
- A Makefile for the new category

Comment 1 Shaun Amott 2006-05-20 01:22:55 UTC 
I knew I'd mess *something* up.

misc/instant-tinderbox needs to be removed from misc/Makefile; I missed
this from the patch.
