Hey,

Freshports currently links to www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi on the page
for each port. That script seems to have broken totally recently, and
regardless the script will most likely die soon as it expects ports to
be in CVS, which of course is not the case anymore.

So, could you remove the link from Freshports?

If anyone ever wants to fix it perhaps the link can be re-added but I
don't see anyone fixing the script any time soon as it has to be
rewritten from scratch, and I'm sceptical about how useful it is in
the first place.
