Feel free to import after removing me as maintainer (you might as well
take over). I no longer have a need for this tool.

ping, this software is really handy.

not sure about the COMMENT, sthen@'s proposition is fine to me as I'm fine
with the last tarball COMMENT using "parsing" instead of filter.

ok solene@ for the port though

I don't think it's a bad thing for COMMENT to have a high signal:noise
ratio..

"to filter HTML" doesn't give much idea what this does. It makes me think
of something that strips out HTML and converts to text or similar?

If you know what you want to do and that a program exists to do it,
but you can't remember it because it has a name that is neither memorable
nor relates to what it does, at least grepping www/*/Makefile for 'CSS
selector' will find it then. And if you don't know that such a program
exists but know what a CSS selector is, it gives you a very good idea
what it does without looking in DESCR.

As an alternative "command line tool to filter HTML using CSS selectors"
is a bit easier-reading, though it does lose information.

That crams in a lot of detail for a COMMENT. How about just the first
part, "shell tool to filter HTML"? When casually browsing packages I'm
much more interested in the fact that it filters HTML than that it uses
CSS selectors to do so.

Lowercase start of COMMENT. It could be more informative, maybe
"shell tool to filter HTML: CSS selectors, HTML/JSON output"?

[NEW] textproc/pup

[Klemens Nanni]

Hey,

here's pup, a small but very helpful utility written in Go; pkg/DESCR:

pup is a command line tool for processing HTML. It reads from
stdin, prints to stdout, and allows the user to filter parts of
the page using CSS selectors:


https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_started/Selectors

Inspired by http://stedolan.github.io/jq/, pup aims to be a fast
and flexible way of exploring HTML from the terminal.

Running just fine on my amd64 machine, tests pass.

The port is really simple and only packages the actual binary (no
upstream manual page).

Feedback, comments?
