Some examples of usage: # portdbc dups | grep mplayer mplayer 8 smplayer 2 # portdbc getup xfce > /etc/ports/xfce.rsync # portdbc search java firefox-java-plugin jdolan httpup sync http://jdolan.dyndns.org/jaydolan/ports/#firefox-java-plugin firefox-java-plugin firefox-java-plugin opt rsync -aqz crux.nu::ports/crux-2.6/opt/firefox-java-plugin/ firefox-java-plugin java-gcj-compat ecarux httpup sync http://ecarux.de/ports/#java-gcj-compat java-gcj-compat # portdbc repos | grep ' rsync ' | wc -l 19 For people who want to download the source code: http://sepen.mine.nu/releases/portdbc-1.0.tar.bz2 Also I prepared a port for my private collection, to get a copy: $ rsync -aqz mikeux.dyndns.org::ports/sepen/portdbc/ portdbc I'd be glad to know your opinions and see any kind of reports and/or patches.
