Find installed unmaintained ports
From TykWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The FreeBSD ports collection is huge. Not all ports are fortunate enough to have a maintainer, this script can show you a list of unmaintained ports installed on a FreeBSD system:
#!/bin/sh prefix=/usr/ports/ makefile=/Makefile for file in `pkg_info -oxa | grep "/"` do if test -f ${prefix}${file}${makefile} then yes=`grep MAIN ${prefix}${file}${makefile} | grep -i 'ports@freebsd\.org'` if [ -n "$yes" ] then echo $file fi fi done
I found the script in this thread on the freebsd-ports@ mailing list.
I plan to run the script now and then to see if anything I really need is unmaintained, and if so I might consider becoming the maintainer.
