This port provides command line utility for accessing Macintosh HFS floppy
disks, hard drives, and CD-ROMs. The following functions are available:
- Display a directory listing (ls, dir)
- Change directories (cd)
- Display the name of the current directory (pwd)
- Copy an HFS file into a local file (read)
- Display the contents of an HFS file (cat)
- Display the partition table on a Macintosh volume
There is no HFS+ volumes support available.
===> The following configuration options are available for hfs-0.37_1:
ALIASES=off: Install subcommand symbolic links
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

2014-03-23 deskutils/lxshortcut: Now distributed with x11/libfm-1.2.0
2014-03-23 databases/p5-Ima-DBI-Contextual: deprecated by upstream
2014-03-23 databases/p5-Class-DBI-Lite: deprecated by upstream
2014-03-23 net/AquaGatekeeper: Binary port of software abandoned by the vendor
2014-03-23 mail/mailutils: This port needs to be taken care of, it suffers from
bit rot. Especially with options other than GUILE, uninstall may leave files
behind
2014-03-23 games/xflame: No more public distfiles
2014-03-23 games/p5-Algorithm-Pair-Best: Use games/p5-Algorithm-Pair-Best2
instead
2014-03-24 x11-wm/hackedbox: Abandonware
2014-03-23 emulators/hfs: No upstream, no public distfiles; consider using
'sysutils/hfsutils'
2014-03-23 games/fuhquake: Upstream disappeared; no more public distfiles;
unmaintained
Deprecate: there is no master site, no public distfiles, certain functions
do not seem to work for me on amd64, e.g. "hfs read": zero-sized files are
copied to destination. Perhaps it is caused by careless assumption of the
types' sizes (excerpt from hfs0_37/endian.h):
typedef unsigned long ULONG; // 32 bit unsigned
typedef long LONG; // 32 bit signed
typedef unsigned int UINT; // 16 bit unsigned
typedef int INT; // 16 bit signed
typedef unsigned char BYTE; // 8 bit unsigned
typedef char SBYTE; // 8 bit signed
typedef int BOOL; // boolean value
`sysutils/ufsutils' provides better alternative: easier to use, has alive
upstream, and works correctly on amd64 (presumably on i386 as well).
While here, also explicitly mention that there is no HFS+ volumes support
available.
- Trim Makefile header per new world order
- Use DISTVERSION because it contains underscore instead of dot
- Define LICENSE (GPLv2)
- Install README file (as PORTDOCS)
- Remove custom configure script: pass variables to make(1) instead
- Respect CFLAGS (original "-O" probably was sensible default 18.5
years ago when the port was first added, but makes no sense now)
- Remove no-op `pre-install' target (do not create directories that
are part of the mtree)
- Cleanup and reformat port description while here
This port (along with similar `emulators/hfsutils') should probably
be moved to sysutils; `sysutils/hfsexplorer' already lives there.
