New Ports of the Week #31 (August 4)

Contributed by jason on from the maaking-mysql-less-sucky dept.

Due to the ports tree freeze, there is only 1 new port for the week of July 28 to August 4:

Some ports had updates that users should be aware of.

Ports are listed in the order they were committed to the tree:

  • databases/maatkit
    • Maatkit makes MySQL easier and safer to manage. It provides simple, predictable ways to do things you cannot otherwise do.

      You can use Maatkit to prove replication is working correctly, fix corrupted data, automate repetitive tasks, speed up your servers, and much, much more.

Port update notes:

Ports that were removed:

  • x11/paragui:
    Remove port for a dead project that was subtly broken for 4 releases.

      Yes, it's, but as you can see, 'Ports of the Week' is capitalized as it's a section title. No matter how many ports on its own it contains; the section name remains the same, not to say it's a nice way of ease the search for all of us :)

      Ah, welcome to Pedan'ts Corner. Aren't you supposed to say something about cancelling your subscription too?

      Actually, Firefox 3 is in ports for 4.4. See

      http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/firefox3/

      and, for example

      ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/firefox3-3.0.1p3.tgz

      It's still Work In Progress, but it's there if you need it.

            A short update after this;

            Using Firefox 3 for a few days now and I am very happy you pointed me to the package of it. Much less memory usage, fast and pretty stable.
            Some small glitches like a scrambled output (some screenstuff like my email program toolbar coming through the layout of the website) on a few sites but further working fine.

            Not really related to the new ports of week #31, but just to tell you I am really happy about your reply.
            My system is complete now ;-)
