Barry

General

Barry is also available in a few different languages: right now it contains translations in the following languages:

• Swedish, translated by Matt Douhan
• Korean, kindly donated by Hye-Shik Chang
• Spanish, contributed by José Pablo Ezequiel Fernández
• Dutch, sent to me by Adriaan de Groot
• German, by my own self, Frerich Raabe
• Polish, by Michal Pasternak

Please note that Barry is currently only an read-only frontend; this means that it's not possible to do any changes to your installation such as adding packages, changing ports, or deinstalling software. This might be implemented lateron, but it's currently not very high on the TODO list. ;-)

The current version is 0.7.

Screenshots

This shows Barry displaying the list of files belonging to a package (in this case xmms).

Here you can see how Barry shows the list of build dependencies for the xmradio port. The dependencies are shown in a recursive manner, that means you can instantly see the dependencies for each dependency as well. Note how in this case xmradio itself depends on the XFree86-libraries port as well as the open-motif port, which itself is a dependency of xmradio.

This is the find dialog used for querying the underlying ports database. By default only the port names are searched through, but if requested Barry can also process the port comments and descriptions - which of course takes a little longer. You can also search by regular expressions which makes specifying very precise search queries very straightforward.
