hi now the first fully usable version is ready. http://www.polarhome.com:793/~till/ containing all (nearly all) avalible ports. the database is searchable by port-names and repositories. the database is simply updated by submitting the URL to the httpup file of the repository. known problems: -the server currently hosting the database is often very slow. -if the description of the port in the Pkgfile contains signs that php interprets as string-end an sql-syntax error appears and this port is not added to the database. -a serious problem, that i cant understand is that the unmaintained-repository cant be updated. because there are no problems with the other cvs-repositories i guess that this problem is not caused by my script. regards till
