New ports database site August 19, 2019
MacPorts’ new ports database is live at ports.macports.org. Please consider installing the “mpstats” port to enable submission of anonymous information about your system and installed ports for statistical purposes.
The information collected is currently:
- MacPorts version
- OS name and version
- CPU architecture
- Selected C++ standard library
- Xcode, command line tools, and GCC versions
- Name, version, selected variants, and requested status of each installed port
- A UUID so we can tell whether submissions are from distinct users
The site also shows which OS versions each port was successfully built on, has links to open Trac tickets, and more.
This new site is the result of much hard work by our GSoC student, Arjun Salyan. We hope you find it useful.
