I live in Berlin, Germany. I like to program, and I like working software. Currently interested in Erlang, Ruby, C, Common Lisp, Unix IO APIs, and B-Trees.

Personal list of things it'd like to improve or see improved

  1. There should be an automatic build (ideally with results in a web interface, filterable, searchable and with automatic notification)
  1. Dependencies don't use variants; fix
  1. automatically upgrade dependecies before building a port
  1. port list is slow; make fast
  1. There should be user messages from within Portfiles which are a bit more persistent, like emails; maybe a log file is enough
  1. There should be a tool which finds stale references from executables and libraries to dynamically linked libraries (think gentoo revdep-rebuild)
  1. make guide use a reasonable markup, not docbook-xml.
  1. Feature: Dependecies can use versions

My ports are:

libsvm                          
mochiweb                        
rb-mysql                        
rb-rmagick                      
ruby19                          
tsung                           
tuntaposx

Open issues of these ports:

#37783
graphviz +universal +ruby fails if ruby19 is -universal
#53161
tuntaposx: kernel extensions have to be signed
#64275
tuntaposx: fails to activate
#64646
tuntaposx @20150118: fix for Leopard? Previous version builds for ppc but fails for ppc+ppc64

and

#43431
Ports with mysql4 or mysql5 variants and/or dependencies should switch to using mysql57+ or mariadb.
#53161
tuntaposx: kernel extensions have to be signed
#60206
Migrate kaffe dependents to Java portgroup
#64275
tuntaposx: fails to activate
#64646
tuntaposx @20150118: fix for Leopard? Previous version builds for ppc but fails for ppc+ppc64
#69107
Ruby: perhaps get rid of separate rb19 ports and move those to subports?
