PORTCVSWEB(1) BSD General Commands Manual PORTCVSWEB(1) NAME portcvsweb -- a tool to instantly browse a history via CVSweb or Fresh- Ports.org SYNOPSIS portcvsweb [-qv] [pkgname_glob] | [ports_glob] | [file] | [directory] | [cvs_module_alias] | [dead port] portcvsweb -F [-qv] [--datespec[=DATESPEC]] [pkgname_glob] | [ports_glob] | [file] | [directory] | [cvs_module_alias] | [dead port] portcvsweb -h | --help DESCRIPTION The portcvsweb command invokes the first available web browser in w3m, lynx, links, firefox, mozilla and netscape (or the ones listed in BROWSER if set) to view the CVS history of a given port, file, directory, or mod- ule via the CVSweb or FreshPorts.org. If no file is given, the current directory is assumed. To detect which repository the file/directory belongs and what revision it is, portcvsweb reads the CVS/* files if found, or scans the given file for a CVS tag. If the file does not contain a CVS tag, it scans the Makefile in the directory. If yet there is no Makefile in the directory, it moves up through the directory hierarchy until it finds one. If the given path does not exist in the first place, portcvsweb assumes it should be under the ports tree, which assumption allows specifying a deleted ports directory/file. Currently portcvsweb recognizes FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD tags, and the one whichever comes first is used. OPTIONS The following command line arguments are supported: pkgname_glob portorigin_glob Pick the first port that matched the given pat- tern. See pkg_glob(1) and portorigin_glob(1) for details and concrete examples. file directory Pick the file or the directory if it exists. cvs_module_alias dead port recognizes these too. -h --help Show help and exit. -F --freshports FreshPorts mode. View CVS history via Fresh- Ports.org instead of CVSweb. --datespec[=DATESPEC] (FreshPorts mode only) View the commit of the day specified by DATESPEC via FreshPorts. When DATESPEC is omittied, view the commits of today. When DATESPEC is a negative value, view the com- mits of DATESPEC days before. -q --noconfig Do not read the configuration file - $PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf. -v --verbose Turn on verbose output. EXAMPLES OF FRESHPORTS MODE When invoked with -F option, view CVS history via FreshPorts.org instead of CVSweb. % portcvsweb -F => http://www.FreshPorts.org/ % portcvsweb -F japanese/kterm => http://www.FreshPorts.org/japanese/kterm When --datespec is also supplied, view the commits of specified day. % portcvsweb -F --datespec=0405 => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2005/04/05 % portcvsweb -F --datespec=04/05 => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2005/04/05 % portcvsweb -F --datespec=20030405 => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2003/04/05 % portcvsweb -F --datespec=2003/04/05 => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2003/04/05 % portcvsweb -F --datespec=2003-04-05 => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2003/04/05 Without DATESPEC , view the commits of today. % date -u Sun Jan 1 03:47:59 UTC 2006 % portcvsweb -F --datespec => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2006/01/01 When DATESPEC is a negative value, view the commits of DATESPEC days be- fore. % portcvsweb -F --datespec=-3 => http://www.FreshPorts.org/date.php?date=2005/12/29 ENVIRONMENT BROWSER Alternative WWW browser. Default is "w3m:lynx:links:firefox:mozilla:netscape". SEE ALSO pkgtools.conf(5), ports(7) AUTHORS Akinori MUSHA <knu@iDaemons.org> BUGS Since a NetBSD or OpenBSD tag does not contain a path component, when portcvsweb detects a NetBSD or OpenBSD tag but there is no CVS/* files in the directory, it assumes that it belongs to NetBSD pkgsrc or OpenBSD ports.
