This isn't quite as simple as I'd hoped it'd be to fix. Here's my findings thus far (I haven't started writing my script yet, but I will later today): 1. /usr/ports/distfiles contains everything I need 2. distfiles contains several versions of some packages, but that's pretty trivial to resolve. 3. distfiles contains some packages whose source tarballs are named *differently* to the packages themselves, such as unrar. It's number 3 that's getting me. It looks like the simplest thing might be an if statement: if (make search name=$PACKAGE) score! else grep -r $PACKAGE /usr/ports But before I go that far, I wanted to see if anyone had an alternate idea for what might work.
