FreeBSD Ports
Every page on this site is built from port sources: the FreeBSD ports
INDEX, the file make index writes at the top of the ports tree, and
repositories kept outside the official tree. One port, one page: its version,
maintainer, the repository it comes from, the categories it is filed under,
what it needs to build and run, and which ports need it.
35306 ports in 98 categories.
Repositories
Ports come from the official tree and from repositories outside it. When two carry the same origin, the one listed later replaces the earlier and its page says so.
