As a suggestion, the Ports Monitoring database already has its own internal representation of much of the metadata, with the exception of the dependencies. It has the advantage of being no more than one hour out of date -- it knows to incrementally update individual ports' metadata based on the output of a ports cvsup. Pieces of it could be recycled to do this kind of function, or it could create a report that could be grabbed. No doubt, this could also be done based off of FreshPorts' database, which probably has a nearly identical set of metadata. mcl
