>Description:
FreeBSD Porter's Handbook and Contributing to the FreeBSD Ports Collection article have links to Fenner's distfiles survey page (http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/portsurvey/), which is out of date.
I propose to change the links to Miwi's FreeBSD Ports distfile scanner (http://www.portscout.org/), which is active and shows the current situation.
