Re: access to FreeBSD package problem

There is the following website about FeeBSD packages :

https://www.freshports.org/
FreshPorts has everything you want to know about FreeBSD
<https://www.freebsd.org/> software, ports, packages, applications,
whatever term you want to use.

https://www.freshports.org/categories.php
FreshPorts - list of categories
This page lists the categories and can be sorted by various criteria.
Virtual categories are indicated by *.
You can sort each column by clicking on the header. e.g. click on Category
to sort by category.

and other attached pages .


From the above website , it is possible to learn information about FreeBSD
related software as possible .
