(garbeam, 2004-12-17) Well, this project is dead. I've no time for it. I'm OpenBSD user now, but don't see any reason in maintain this project further. I thought that Oliver would continue working on this project, but I'm not sure if he really does. If anyone is interested in becoming the portsman maintainer, let me know. I'm heavily involved in other projects, most important one is the Window Manager Improved project. Sorry.
Jun 04 2003/Stuttgart Yesterday the long awaited portsman port has been committed to the FreeBSD ports collection.
There are several INDEX-file related bugs in the last release of portsman, which wil be fixed through a completely redesign in the next release, which is scheduled for July 2003. I'll commit all current changes next days into portsman's CVS repository, so if you're interested in testing current features (especially the INDEX parsing replacement), feel free to check out a current version of portsman.
Jan 22 2003/Stuttgart Today I've released the first release candidate of portsman 0.2. Just click here to download this new version. I'm going to post some messages on several BSD lists, to get more feedback. I need some more people who are willing to test portsman in its current stadium of effort. Especially people from Net- and OpenBSD are welcome, because I don't know exactly, what the differences are between the FreeBSD ports collection and Net- respectivly OpenBSD. So happy working with portsman.
Jan 18 2003/Stuttgart (Germany) Today I've released portsman 0.1.0. After several weeks of heavy development portsman works now pretty stable I think - but I need more feedback. If you're interested in how portsman looks like, now, visit the screenshots page (see below).
Today I also submitted the shar of the FreeBSD port sysutils/portsman, but I don't know how long it will take. So, if you're interested in using portsman's first stable release just click on this link, extract the tarball and follow the INSTALL instructions.
If you find bugs, please write me a mail or use the more formal way via portsmans developer page at BerliOS.
You can also visit the project homepage at BerliOS!
portsman - 'ports manager' - is a lib ncurses based, graphical front-end to manage the FreeBSD ports collection. It behaves like a package manager.
portsman is under BSD license.
