Port Utility Latest News

The project grows, it’s now about 1100 lines.

I added search and status commands, that means it now only lacks list, remove and replace.

Since I was quite bored doing shell optimizations, I decided to begin writing documentation (port.8 and port.conf.5) and default configuration file.

Birthday

I’m now 23. Yeah, nothing to get excited about but I’m not writing a lot these days, so that’s a good opportunity.
