Anybody else having problems with this feature? I did exactly what the site says to do (pkg_info -qoa > mypkg_info.txt) but when I go to upload the file I get the following error message:
"OUCH, That does not look like the right output to me. Please ensure you have the correct file format and try again (see step 1).
This is the first line I found:"
I opened the file myself and it is indeed in the correct format. I tried uploading using both Konqueror and Opera. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Aaron

Does it look like this:
$ head -2 mypkg_info.txt
irc/bitchx
graphics/Mesa3

I just uploaded using Opera.

No, pkg_info -qoa did not add that $ line at the top. I just copied that line in and tried again to upload via Konqueror and Opera and I am still receiving the same message, only this time it is reporting that it *is* seeing that line $ head etc... What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, that's a copy/paste from my command line.

This is the top of my mypkg_info.txt file:
graphics/ImageMagick
graphics/Mesa3
devel/ORBit
devel/ORBit2
textproc/opensp
games/rtb
When I try to upload it I get the following message in both Konqueror and Opera:
OUCH, That does not look like the right output to me. Please ensure you have the correct file format and try again (see step 1).
This is the first line I found:
It does not display the first line. Did you mean for me to email you an actual jpg capture?

I tried to upload your file and succeeded. So I don't think the problem is the file. So it must be the browser uploading....
But you have tried two browsers.
How about another screen shot. Send me your screen shot just before you click on Upload.

OK, I saw your attempt on the beta site. I'm just altered the code to log some debugging information. Please try there again.
See also my msg via email regarding ICQ/MSN.

OK. I'm at work now and I just tried to upload it again using IE (*shudders* please don't hurt me) and I still get the same message. Maybe the debugging code can shed some light. I'm pretty confused =) Thanks again for your time, Dan!
Cheers!

That OK, it's not your browser.

I think I know what the problem is and have made change to the code. Please try another upload.

It worked this time at beta.freshports.org. Will the beta site email me updates? or shall I wait until the main site is updated? Thanks again, Dan!
Cheers!

Great! The problem is trailing blank lines in the file. ;)
> Will the beta site email me updates?
No, sorry, it won't.
> or shall I wait until the main site is updated?
Try submitting again on the main site, but check for any blank lines at the top/bottom of the file. If that works, let me know, then I know for sure what it was. If it doesn't work, I'll rush the three-line change into production.
> Thanks again, Dan!
No problem. I'm just sorry it happened but glad you let me know.

Voila! I had some blank lines in the middle of the file too. Not sure how that happened. Maybe that means something bad has happened to my /var/db/pkg.db? *crosses his fingers*
Once I removed all blank lines it uploaded fine. Thanks again for your time, Dan!
Cheers!

I bet if you run your file through this, you'll see some duplicates too:
cat mypkg_info.txt | sort | less
