Hi Adam,

Here is a quick example for you

http://openports.se/search.php?so=gitea

vs

https://openports.pl/search?file=gitea=

Often times entire categories will be empty on http://openports.se.

Cheers,
Predrag

About anything that's an heavy flavor/pseudo-flavors/multi-packages user.
There's a whole amount of madness involved to parsing it properly (both
dpb and sqlports have some specific code to take care of building proper
equivalence relations and normalizing pkgpaths).

the .pl site is a straight instance of ports-readmes-dancer, which leverages
sqlports and pkglocatedb, and so it's the official data set up in a correct
way.

Oh, ok... Do you recall an example offhand?  (I haven't noticed systemic
problems with either, but then I'm hardly a ports expert!)Thanks,-Adam

  Don't use those, they don't know how the openbsd ports are named.

Generated by scraping, and thus often incomplete. Taking a look, it's
missing many of my recent commits, and even entire ports.

Extremely out of date. "These pages were generated 2018-11-21T13Z"...

My current workflow looks something like this:

I search and scroll through and find something interesting such as

I read the Info: game based on the Sonic the Hedgehog universe

$ cat games/opensonic/pkg/DESCR # I can't get make describe to work
I read more about it.
I google opensonic for screenshots.
$ pkg_add opensonic
$ opensonic
$ fg

Ideally I would like a graphical ports browser with name, screenshots, 
and
description that I can scroll and search through. Curation would be 
nice:

ports suggestions, popular ports, dev team ports picks, etc.

Have a look at: https://openports.pl 

I think it ticks some of your boxes. :)
