>Description:
I'd like src/tools/tools/portsinfo to be removed from the
tree because of the following reasons:
- It's broken. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi, which
portsinfo tries to use doesn't provide needed information
anymore, so the script simply doesn't work.
- It's not needed. The are about hundred new ports every two
weeks and even more updated ports. Information is such
amount is useless IMO.
Though, if somebody feels like this tools is really needed, I think
it should be rewritten to use freshports and placed into
ports/Tools/scripts.
