BSD Ports Manipuator (BPM) is a graphical ports collection manager for
FreeBSD. It has a GTK+ 2.0 interface and allows you to add, remove, or
upgrade software packages on your system without requiring you to use a
command-line. In addition, it can display details about available,
installed, and out-of-date ports, as well as allowing you to search
based on port descriptions.
BPM uses the existing ports collection structure, allowing it to build
ports from source and integrate seamlessly with other tools.
This project started out as a clone of Ports Manager.app for
DarwinPorts.

The recently comitted BPM port fails to handle the new INDEX file
format, which has had several fields added to it. In addition, it
reacts badly when parse errors occur on the INDEX file, resulting in
double free()s. The patch works around both of these problems
until the next formal release.
