pkg-message:

For install:: Polybar was originally built with Linux in mind, so certain modules do not function in FreeBSD. Working modules: - bspwm - cpu - date - github - i3 - ipc (polybar-msg method does not seem to work) - memory - menu - mpd - script - text - xkeyboard - xwindow - xworkspaces (not extensively tested) Broken modules: - filesystem - network (requires wireless_tools) - temperature (requires /sys/class/thermal/* in sysfs) - volume (requires full alsa, not a wrapper) Unknown: - backlight - battery - xbacklight

3.6.3 07 Sep 2022 21:10:59	Stefan Eßer (se)	Add WWW entries to port Makefiles It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources. Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the port specific URL to further information. There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time. (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
