New Ports of The Week (March 16)

There were 8 new ports for the week of March 9 to March 15:

• net: mktorrent
• x11: x11/autocutsel
• x11: awn
• games: pingus
• devel: py-pyro
• x11/gnome: genius
• www: py-routes
• sysutils: testdisk

Some ports had updates that users should be aware of. One port was removed.

New ports, listed in the order they were committed to the tree:

• net/mktorrent
  • mktorrent is a command-line .torrent file creator.
• x11/autocutsel
  • Autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and clipboard selection. When the clipboard is changed, it updates the cutbuffer. When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the clipboard selection. The cutbuffer and clipboard selection are always synchronized.
    Some new gtk/qt based apps (such as firefox) use PRIMARY/CLIPBOARD buffers, while the older ones use cutbuffer. This little utility keeps clipboard and cutbuffer in sync.
• x11/awn
  • Avant Window Navigator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen. It has support for launchers, task lists, and third party applets.
• games/pingus
  • Pingus is a free Lemmings-like game in 2D graphics.
• devel/py-pyro
  • Pyro is an acronym for PYthon Remote Objects. It is an advanced and powerful Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, that is designed to be very easy to use.

• x11/gnome/genius
  • Genius is a general purpose calculator program similiar in some aspects to BC, Matlab, Maple or Mathematica. It is useful both as a simple calculator and as a research or educational tool. The syntax is very intuitive and is designed to mimic how mathematics is usually written. GEL is the name of its extention language, it stands for Genius Extension Language.
• www/py-routes
  • Routes is a Python re-implementation of the Rails routes system for mapping URL's to Controllers/Actions and generating URL's. Routes makes it easy to create pretty and concise URL's that are RESTful with little effort.
• sysutils/testdisk
  • TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.
    
  • PhotoRec (a companion program to TestDisk) is a file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures (thus, its 'Photo Recovery' name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted.
