Default ports tree on various sources

Hello,

I would like to know how ports trees are distributed. For e.g. I first went to openports.se and to Solene's website to search for ports I find gnome version 42.1

Code:
https://openports.se/meta/gnome
and
Code:
https://openports.pl/path/meta/gnome
pkg_add installs gnome 41, so I downloaded the ports tree. Ports tree also has gnome 41. So I went to CVSweb to search and I get to the following page
Code:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/meta/gnome/Makefile
which indicates that there's gnome 42 in ports tree in CVS.

So I checkedout the CVS ports tree using -r OPENBSD_7_1

After that
Code:
cd /usr/ports/meta/gnome
cat Makefile

COMMENT-main=GNOME desktop meta-package (core installation)
COMMENT-extras=GNOME desktop meta-package (world installation)

# sync with gnome-desktop GNOME_VERSION
V=41.5
PKGNAME=gnome-${V}
What's happening here? This is not anything I wish to install. I just wish to understand the system better.

Sorry for late reply I haven't in here for a long time.

Did you fetch the ports for OpenBSD-RELEASE and OpenBSD-STABLE? You should read the OpenBSD FAQ to be clear about this.

https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html

By the way if you need latest ports just get source from OpenBSD Github or from any OpenBSD CVS by running this command
Code:
cd /usr && doas mkdir -m 0775 ports && cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs.example.org:/cvs checkout -P ports
Make sure that your user is in wsrc group to do that

I'm sorry I missed the original post. As HopingStar points out, there are three flavors of OpenBSD and three flavors of the ports tree. Additionally:

The openports.se website should not be used. Its parser is known-to-be broken, and its results are not trustworthy. (The site is not run by anyone associated with the OpenBSD Project.)

The openports.pl website is a public implementation of OpenBSD's ports-readme-dancer web application, and to my knowledge is updated regularly. Its date of last update is at the bottom of the index web page.

I wonder is openports.pl official maintained by OpenBSD developers? I just curious about it.

I don't know. It is hosted at high5.nl; this is the team that operates the openbsd.amsterdam service.



(Anyone can run the openbsd-readme-dancer web application; it's installable with pkg_add(1).)
