Author: Ryan "gt3" Kulla. Email: rkulla@gmail.com portell is a Python program that will find and print detailed information on a BSD systems application name in in /usr/ports. All you do is supply a valid name and portell will find it (from any directory) and display its associated pkg-descr or pkg/DESCR file. And since portell uses a database the search results happen instantaneously. Usage ----- The first time you run portell.py you need to create a database called /var/db/portell.db (or whatever you point the PORTELL_PATH environment variable to). To do this type: portell -u Now you can use portell normally from now on. Say you want to know what "mpg123" is, simply type: portell mpg123
