He was telling me that at one point he went there with plans to port a couple things a day from freshmeat to FreeBSD. He found that, other than stuff we already had, the majority of the apps were pretty junky. I have to agree. There's certainly a lot of good stuff there, but most of it has been ported. That said there are a couple things I've found recently that I want to port as I need them, but I'm buried w/ other non-FreeBSD stuff right now. > I've found this very useful for keeping an eye on the ports I'm > maintaining, as well as updates to other ports I use so I can give a > heads-up to the maintainer. This is certainly true. > Does anyone else know of any other "hidden treasure" sites like this? If you can't keep up w/ freshmeat, Linux Weekly News (www.lwn.org) maintains a weekly list of all the apps that came out on freshmeat. A few other sources of apps that I occasionally use: DLR Fresh Archive - unix/src http://www.go.dlr.de/fresh/unix/src/ LASSPTools http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/LASSPTools/LASSPTools.html SAL -- Scientific Applications on Linux http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM Linux Applications Page http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtm Brett ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
