After Magit 3.3.0 was released on October 2021, upstream didn't
release new version for a long time. So I created development snapshot
ports to used newer Magit. But they seems to change release policy
with the release of 4.0.0 on August 2024, and new versions have been
released every month since then. Since I have updated development
snapshot ports once a month, there aren't much difference from release
version ones now. So mark the former as DEPRECATED and set
EXPIRATION_DATE.
This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:
https://ports.FreeBSD.org
For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/
for the latest official version
or:
The ports(7) manual page (man ports).
These will explain how to use ports and packages.
If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by
saying (in /usr/ports):
make search name="<name>"
or:
make search key="<keyword>"
which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>.
make search also supports wildcards, such as:
make search name="gtk*"
For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's
Handbook, available at:

NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect.
