I like "Total" for the above.

"Showing 1 to 10 of ??,??? entries" is reporting how many
port-packages are available in that list displayed above
it that have entries for everything in the "scope of the
build", to use your terminology.

To see that: Click on the # column's control that reverses
the "Queued ports" list. The top # will then match the
??,??? entries figure (ignoring the ",").

If someone changes the "??,??? entries" definition to be
some other type of figure, that will no longer be true
unless the list content is also changed to match.

Are you suggesting to change the content of the that list
and the whole page to make no reference to the "scope
of the build" information (no count, no list for such)?

Are you suggesting that the list should only list the
port-packages that are in the "Total" and, so, that
the "entries" figure would have the same value as
"Total"?

The existing "Queued ports" is probably better
called: "All port-packages" (Calling the items
ports when a port can define multiple packages
and pacakges are what is built is odd these
days --and has been for a long time.)

So if the "scope of the build" information is
kept, I expect that its terminology should be
changed to avoid ambiguity.

I could imagine having lists and figures for
both:

) "Total's port-packages"
and:
) "All port-packages"

Although, I view "Total's port-packages" as
more important.

Note:
If I understand right, such may well be changes to
how poudriere works for providing html pages.
