I made this shell script (portable sh) that will create a bunch of directories for all virtual ports (linux, perl, etc.). It puts a symlink for every port in your tree into the correct categories. For example it will create a kde directory with the akode-audio port pointing to /usr/ports/audio/akode. http://isis.poly.edu/~eitan/files/auto-symlink-virtual.sh At the moment it relies on make to determine what categories each port is in. This is somewhat slow but the only error-proof way I know how. If anyone could improve the script please let me know. It is released under the BSD-2-clause license. -- Eitan Adler
