I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.
There is a known issue with processing of security/vuxml data. As a results, the "Lastest Vulnerabilities" box is out of date and new entries after 2025-Sep-02 are not shown.

pkg-message:
For install:
If you installed the GITWEB option please follow these instructions: In the directory /usr/local/share/examples/git/gitweb you can find all files to make gitweb work as a public repository on the web. All you have to do to make gitweb work is: 1) Please be sure you're able to execute CGI scripts in /usr/local/share/examples/git/gitweb. 2) Set the GITWEB_CONFIG variable in your webserver's config to /usr/local/etc/git/gitweb.conf. This variable is passed to gitweb.cgi. 3) Restart server. If you installed the CONTRIB option please note that the scripts are installed in /usr/local/share/git-core/contrib. Some of them require other ports to be installed (perl, python, etc), which you may need to install manually.

  • 2025-06-10
    Affects: users of devel/git
    Author: michaelo@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      The HTMLDOCS option has been renamed to DOCS to match the option name
      with other ports and the description from Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk.

  • 2021-10-12
    Affects: users of devel/git
    Author: garga@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      devel/git port was split into multiple sub-ports that depend on devel/git
      and install additional files:
    
      - devel/git-cvs - CVS related scripts and man pages
      - devel/git-gui - GUI related scripts and man pages
      - devel/git-p4  - Perforce related scripts and man pages
      - devel/git-svn - Subversion related scripts and man pages
    
      Due to these changes, CVS, GUI, PERFORCE, and SUBVERSION options
      as well as gui and svn flavors were removed from the port.
