Hi,

I'm a ports maintainer for few of the FreeBSD ports. Is there any tool
or website, which can monitor freebsd ports for new versions of
distfiles from upstream. So, I can update my ports as soon as a new
version is available.

Thanks
Ashish Shukla

I'm not sure what your question is. If you are doing language translation
or localization of stuff that has already been ported, one of the
following might be what you are looking for:

http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html
http://www.freshports.org/

Let me give you an example. e.g. I maintain x11/libxcb port, and if
upstream releases a new tarball say libxcb-1.1.92.tar.gz. Then I won't
be able to update my port, unless I check upstream's site manually
periodically. This is okay, if you've one or two ports to maintain,
but if you've 15 ports to maintain, this consumes lots of time. So,
I'm looking for some utility or website, which keeps track of these
availability of new upstream sources for me. So I can visit that
one website periodically. Debian Packaging System has something
similar like watch file, where one has to specify the location to
monitor for new versions.

Mailing lists are the primary means of communication for the FreeBSD
project. You can subscribe to the relevant mailing list or search the
archives at the URL I've given above for whatever it is you are looking
for.

I'm already subscribed to couple of those lists.
