- This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
- WEB-based interface to it, please see:
- https://www.FreeBSD.org/ports
- 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:
- https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/
- 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.
