Wanted to run this by the ports community, see your thoughts. We build our PBIs from the ports system, and are able to parse most of the information out for display graphically, like descriptions, maintainers, website, License, etc. However we currently don't have a way to pull the actual name of the upstream vendor / author. I.E. for Firefox the vendor would be "Mozilla".
This information is useful to use, because we want to be able to show users who exactly is the author of the software, not just the maintainer, which may only be gnome@ or ports@ or whatever. Does anybody have any thoughts on if this could be something we support in the tree? While I'm on the topic, how about a broader "type" for ports as well? Something like "gui/cli/library/data/doc/meta/foo" would be helpful to further categorize applications. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software iXsystems _______________________________________________ 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"
