#19300: ports.php: web site should have page about each port, not link to portfile -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jmpp@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: website | Version: Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Description changed by ryandesign@…: Old description:
Currently ports.php lets you search for a port, but once you click on one for more info, it just takes you to the portfile in the repository. Users should never need to see the portfile text. Instead, we should show a nicely-formatted page which would include the information you can see in such commands as "`port info`" and "`port variants`"
