Download, file bug reports or submit patches via github: https://github.com/MidnightBSD/mports

For documentation, consult:

The ports(7) manual page (man ports).

MidnightBSD website https://www.midnightbsd.org/

If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by saying (in /usr/mports):

make search name="<name>"
or:
make search key="<keyword>"

which will generate a list of all ports matching or . make search also supports wildcards, such as:

make search name="gtk*"

To use packages instead, use the mport command to install. You can find out what pacakges are available on the midnightbsd app store http://app.midnightbsd.org/

You can also learn about package builds and their progress https://www.midnightbsd.org/magus/

To create packages, one must use the magus software, which is included in Tools/magus Tools/lib and so on.

NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage! The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/mports/Distfiles, and the individual mports will also use up lots of space in their work subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done building a given port. /usr/mports/Distfiles can also be periodically cleaned without ill-effect.

We currently support MidnightBSD 3.x+ with mports.

Users on older releases should checkout a quarterly tagged release or an older point in time relative to when the release was out.

If you wish to contribute to mports, submit via github on https://github.com/MidnightBSD/mports

Feel free to create a pull request to update any mports in this repository.
All contributions must be provided under the same BSD 2-clause license we use.
