Portscout is a tool which looks for new versions of software in the
|
|
FreeBSD ports tree, and potentially other software repositories. It
|
|
is also possible to provide an arbitrary list of software in a simple
|
|
XML format.
|
|
|
|
Various factors make this task a bit more difficult than it might
|
|
initially seem. In particular, the array of weird and wonderful
|
|
versioning schemes software vendors manage to come up with.
|
|
|
|
Portscout spawns several child processes and does its version checking
|
|
in parallel, while attempting to best-guess strange-looking version
|
|
numbers, navigate around unhelpful sites and web servers, and contend
|
|
with the CPU-heavy rapidly-expanding FreeBSD ports system.
|
|
|
|
In addition to all this, it is possible to generate nice HTML reports
|
|
and send reminder mails to interested parties.
