More detailed information about each port below.

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

  • x11/gnustep
    • The is the start of importing some pieces of the GNUstep framework.
      GNUstep is a cross-platform, object-oriented framework for desktop application development. Based on the OpenStep specification originally created by NeXT (now Apple), GNUstep enables developers to rapidly build sophisticated software by employing a large library of reusable software components.
      Not connected to the build yet as this is a work in progress and there might be some glitches.
      Now that it's in CVS, hopefully more people will test this...
  • x11/gnustep/make
    • The makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way to write makefiles for a GNUstep-based project. It allows the user to write a project without having to deal with the complex issues associated with configuration, building, installation, and packaging. It also allows the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.
  • x11/gnustep/base
    • The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose, non-graphical Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes for strings, object collections, byte streams, typed coders, invocations, notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time, network ports, remote object messaging support (distributed objects), and event loops. It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
  • x11/gnustep/gui
    • The GNUstep gui library is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OpenStep specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields, popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
  • x11/gnustep/back
    • This is the back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end component which handles all of the display system dependent such as specific calls to the X Window System. This design allows the GNUstep applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display system without any changes to the application, and the library can be easily ported to other display systems.
      The GNUstep GUI Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the DPS functions required by the front-end system.

QSO's can be entered with any date, because xlog can sort your log chronologically, provided you use the correct date format (see the MANUAL).
  • x11/xfce4/xfce4-time-out

      > The net/netrate port comes from a few tools (netsend, netreceive, netblast, ...) in the FreeBSD source tree.

      Yes, just like it says in pkg/DESCR.

  3. By Anonymous Coward (75.70.121.147) on

    Is anyone interested in making a port of DSHIELDs fw log reporter? Last time I tried it, it seemed to be out of synch with the pf log format. Any hints?

  4. By selm (217.95.238.73) selmagmx.li on

    Feature request: could you sort the listed ports here above alphabetically? It makes it easier to read/skip through all these new ports. Just a thought.
