(some history) During this summer the Jannis Tsaraias worked on the pkg_module, an automated port creation framework as a GSoC Project. The project succeeded, and Jannis stayed to maintain the code and accept patches from interested parties:
https://github.com/diethyl/pkg_module (back to nowadays) A few months went, and we're still at the same place. pkg_module proved to work by a few people already, and should be a nice addition for 5.9. So I want to move on and finally import it. I'm attaching the archive to be extracted under /usr/ports/infrastructure. After that just type something like "pkg_module ruby dbf" and see how easy it goes. :) Personally I use it about once a month, saving a hour or two of manual work. In particular, I'm trying to reuse this code to make maintaining KDE Frameworks easier: doing things manually, I have to re-start porting a new version before finishing a previous one... Any comments/suggestions/objections/okays? -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov
