macports/macports-webapp

Web application to display information about ports, build history and installation statistics

Introduction

Goal

This is a web application that:

1. Displays general information about all the ports.
2. Fetches and displays build history of the ports.
3. Collects and displays installation statistics (system configurations and installed ports) from users who opt-in by installing the port mpstats.
4. Allows following ports and receiving notifications when a port gets updated.

It aims at being an all-one-place for users to find relevant ports and for maintainers to monitor their ports and understand their user base. The app is running in production at ports.macports.org.
