I've finally been able to do some needed maintainence on the FreeBSD
Ports Monitoring System ( http://portsmon.firepipe.net ). While the
changes are minor there is always the chance that something has been
destabilized. Please let me know (off-list) if this is the case.
The user-visible changes are:
- the 'overview of one port' page will now display the full string
for the fields BROKEN, DEPRECATED, EXPIRATION_DATE, FORBIDDEN, and
IGNORE, rather than just noting that they are set.
- the periodic email that is sent to ports maintainers to remind
them of open PRs about their ports now has a new option. For
cases where the maintainer already knows about the PR it is now
possible to avoid sending that email. (The code was already smart
enough not to do so if the submitter's email is the same as the
maintainer's email). This is intended for the case where the
maintainer submitted a PR from a different address; the maintainer
has already approved the PR and it's in the queue; or the PR is
suspended awaiting some other commit.
I've you've replied to one of these emails in the past to let me
know that you already know, please, let me know again (and please,
off-list). I have tried to set the ones that I can easily find but
I have over a thousand pieces of ports-related email saved off and
have undoubtedly missed some.
Currently the switch has to be set by me, and it's only settable on
a PR-by-PR basis. Due to my own time constraints, don't expect that
to change soon ...
Again, if there are any regressions, please let me know off-list.
