=== PortConfig Links: + link:https://gitlab.com/alfix/portconfig/[Repository portconfig] URL: link:https://gitlab.com/alfix/portconfig/[https://gitlab.com/alfix/portconfig/] Contact: Alfonso Sabato Siciliano (upstream) <[email protected]> + Contact: Baptiste Daroussin (port) <[email protected]> FreeBSD provides the Ports Collection to give users and administrators a simple way to install applications. It is possible to configure a port before the building and installation. PortConfig is an utility for setting the port options via a Text User Interface. As each terminal has different properties PortConfig can be customized via environment variables to set up the User Interface, for example: menu size, theme, borders, and so on; each feature is documented inside the manual. Further, if a port has a specific 'pkg-help' file, PortConfig will show a Help button to open a "popup" with help information. FreeBSD provides thousands of ports therefore it is not feasible to test PortConfig for each use; please report any problem. Alfonso would like to thank Baptiste Daroussin for the port, suggestions, help, and testing for this utility and its library.
