penv - 'program environment' or 'ports environment' - is a simple
utility that executes a given command after setting some environment
variables corresponding to the current directory. This makes it
much easier to keep persistent environment settings for building
the same ports over and over again.
For example, the following series of commands:
$ echo cp1251 > /var/db/penv/databases/mysql323-server/WITH_CHARSET
$ echo all > /var/db/penv/databases/mysql323-server/WITH_XCHARSET
..allows a simple way to build the MySQL-3.23 server with the same
character set configuration every time by doing:
[root@ringworld:/usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server]# penv make
For more information, see the penv.1 manual page and the sample
configuration file in the penv distribution.
log_analysis is a log file analysis engine that extracts relevant
data for any of the recognized log messages and produces a summary
that is much easier to read.

WARNING: The sole reason why I'm adding this port is to allow me upgrade
gnomeutils port to the latest version. For some very strange reason
this new version requires libext2fs to build. The only thing I know
for sure about e2fsprogs is that it compiles cleanly on 4-STABLE and
5-CURRENT systems - I have not tested it in action. Please use it
with extremal precaution, because due to its low-level nature and
Linux roots it can do Very Bad Things[tm] to your data, set fire
on your house, kill your cat or something else even more horrible. If
someone wants to take over maintainership please feel free to do so.
after a given time with a given signal. A 'warning' signal
is sent first, then, after a timeout, a 'kill' signal, similar
to the way init(8) operates on shutdown.

the ones generated by the Unix ls -l command. For example, a
regular file that is readable by everyone and writable only by its
owner has the mode string -rw-r--r--. Stat::lsMode will either
examine the file and produce the right mode string for you, or you
can pass it the mode that you get back from Perl's stat call.

It upgrades ports without reinstalling dependent packages by directly
modifying the package info recorded in the files under /var/db/pkg.
e.g.
portupgrade gtk
portupgrade -cC gnome\*
It currently has many design flaws (to me at least) but I am releasing
this because it's functionally stable enough to use. (I believe.. ;)
Use with care, at your own risk.
