The FreeBSD Ports FAQ file
Revision: $Id$
Revision: $Id: PORTS.FAQ,v 1.1 1995/01/04 00:43:35 jkh Exp $
The ports system is kinda new, so there haven't been too many FAQ's to
date, but hopefully this document will pre-empt (some|most) of them!!

10) This FAQ is weak. What can I do?
Send changes to ports@FreeBSD.org. Changes are most welcome!
This FAQ is also very green and should be considered no more than
a `good start' for now. Authors? You can come out of hiding any
time now! :-)

11) How do I get more information on all the ports?
One good method is to cd to the top of the ports tree (say /usr/ports)
and type something like:
make describe | sed -e '/===/D' -e 's;/usr/ports/;;' | expand -40
The ``make describe'' will try to extract the one-line description from
each port, and the ``sed'' will delete the extraneous output. ``expand''
just makes it a little more readable (sort of - you may want to season
the output of this more to taste).
