This is the start of a vision for a more comprehensive online repository for ports. Please see some of my sketchy documentation at:
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/users/jberry/mpwa/doc/ design.txt and http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/users/jberry/mpwa/ doc/portpkg-design.txt
To quote from the design document, my goals for mpwa are:
Goals:
- Develop a network-reachable port storage mechanism
- Allow for ad-hoc submission of new ports/revisions by any user
- Since users may submit ports and make them available, port availability is not held up for review by committers. Committers may provide special status to approved ports.
- All submissions and versions should always remain network reachable so that old versions may be installed and/or reviewed.
- Allow for storage of meta information with such a submission: - Submitter - Comments by various users - Build status - (potentially binaries) - etc.
- Allow for promotion of such a submission to a special status (stable, whatever) by the port maintainer or other official personnel.
Note that what is visible today is not a complete implementation. The following things are implemented, for the most part:
- port submit, to submit a port to the repository. - autosubmit, a script I've been running which auto submits svn checkins after they've been given a chance to stabilize. - mpwa web frontend to browse and view ports and port information.
The following is not yet implemented:
- A handler for the application/vnd.macports.portpkg mime-type to make it easy to download and use a given portpkg. - Any sort of local support for ports by http: url. - port get, to get a particular port and use it locally - Any remote indexing or query support - User accounts - User created tags - Signing of submissions by submitters - Support for dependencies - Nicer css design and information layout.
Your feedback or help on the project is desired. In particular, if somebody want so put in a little work on the css and templates, that would be great.

James,
Looks great! Can't wait to see this up and running. I would be more than willing to help out on the design/css layout if I had some mockups or some kind of idea where to go with it.
It's already up and running, and looks great ! yves

James: Until we decide on a unified email address obfuscation strategy for all of MacPorts, can you please obfuscate the email addresses printed in mpwa? Michael: the design/css layout of mpwa should probably conform with the rest of the MacPorts web experience, which I'm currently in the process of overhauling. I'll post a screenshot of my progress soon.

Hi Ryan, Yes. Done. At least for the generated content. This doesn't do anything yet to address raw Portfiles. James.
