[POSTPONED] Database of patches used for ports to make them FreeBSD compliant.

Flay GNU database

They say "There's more than one way to skin a cat" so there is surely many ways to take care of GNU.

Synopsis

This idea is a mysql database of patches used in the FreeBSD ports system to ease further porting.

Present concept

  • Process, parse all of the patches within the files directory of ports which have them, necessarily automated. (over 32000 patches already)
  • Organize in a useful table so that additional context can assist with discovering how to solve incompatibilities between Linux and FreeBSD (often hardcoded).

Future planning

  • How will this be provided, just the mysql database? Include the Makefile and automation script(s)?
