Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
Porteasy lets you install ports and build packages without maintaining a full ports tree. It achieves this by scanning the ports index for dependency information, and using CVS to update only the ports you requested and their dependencies. Here are some of the things porteasy does for you: - automatically update the necessary files (and only the necessary files) using CVS (including anoncvs support) - list all of a port's dependencies, optionally hiding those that are already installed - fetch all the necessary distfiles right away, in a single batch, so you don't have to wait for one dependency to build before fetching the next one's distfile. Dialup users will love this. - build and install arbitrary ports. - build packages. -- des@freebsd.org
