This is an old revision of the document!

Here are some features users have requested for portsmon:

• Ability to flag certain PRs as 'maintainer already knows about this one'. The development version has this functionality but I am out of cycles to test it right now.

• Ability to subscribe to a watch-list for PRs that come in. At the moment, there is no UI code for a subscription page, nor do I really have any insight as to how it would work. There is a little bit of code to create 'this hour's list of changed PRs.'

• Prettier formatting (headers and footers).

• Ability to add comments and keywords (outside of GNATS).

• New list: opened PRs without named responsible, ordered by date.

Here are some features the author would like to add to portsmon:

• Ability to go out to the web to test for newer versions of distfiles (e.g. to Sourceforge). Individual pages could be added to show e.g. the list by category; a summary line could be added to the individual port page. A prototype exists and is reasonably accurate at identifying distfiles; however, it needs to be taught not to reuse the same mastersite over and over, and also to have the SQL back-end implemented. This is currently stalled due to lack of cycles.

• Finish the graphs and charts and make them clickable. (Currently, the clickable URLs are all broken.)

• Ability to show date that a port's distfile was last updated.

• Ability to show date of last commit to a port by anyone.

• Ability to show date of the last commit to a port that was submitted by maintainer. (Some hacky heuristics have already been tried.)

• Ability to accept data from Fenner's report.

• Ability to accept data from last-commit-by-committer report.

• Ability to understand which packages build correctly, not just the ones that fail. Harder than you might think, and has performance implications.
