hi this evening i had a little bit of time to push my ports-database to the next level of usability. http://www.tbmnet.de/tbmnet.php?content=crux_ports_database the updating of existing repositories is very easy now. i set a password for this function to prevent that everybody klicks the button to see what might happen. i also found the bug why the unmaintained repositiory could not be updated. now the script checks the existance of every file before trying to open it and outputs an error message if a file is missing. last thing: in the first version i forgot the possibility that ports can be removed from a repository. now the script detects which ports are not in the repository anymore and removes it from the database. improvement suggestions are wellcome. regards till -- http://www.tbmnet.de
