I proudly, have been maintaining and, or submitting a few ports for FreeBSD project since December 2006. The authorized volunteers however, take time to approve and, or commit new and, or updated ports; may be due to the workload they handle.
Hence, I have created a public repository for sharing these with all those of you, who either are interested to use or help me in testing these ports, even before these are committed to the real ports tree. Please feel free to download, test and, or report any bugs; a feedback of yours though not mandatory, shall highly be appreciated.
After downloading the requisite and, or suggested <whatever>.shar.gz file(s) for a port, to extract and, or install, all you need to do is, as root repeat the following for the *.shar.gz files:
# zcat <whatever>.shar.gz |sh
or for the <whatever>.patch.gz file(s):
# zcat <whatever>.patch.gz |patch -d/ -p1
Now, visit the main ports’ directory and perform:
# cd /usr/ports/<category>/<port>
# make install clean
That’s all, and you have done it!

In its current incarnation the Google AdSense is definitely a fraud. IMHO, thousands if not millions of AdSense publishers have already been robbed by invalid click Google excuses till date. As and when an AdSense publisher site and, or blog starts earning a good amount or starts attracting visitors, the Google AdSense people usually come up with this standard excuse:
It has come to our attention that invalid clicks and/or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have herefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that this was a necessary step to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.
And publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payments. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers, who knows?
On searching even at Google itself, you too may find:

Google gets gruff over click fraud
Google Sued for AdSense Fraud
Obviously google adsense is a fraud
Don’t Get Caught With Google Adsense Click Fraud

AdSense Has A Scam Side
Neither the publishers have enough of the skills and, or expertise to verify who has created the said invalid clicks nor the Google is fair enough to show you the records. Moreover, it is not that easy a job to prove that the records have not been doctored. I’m not lawyer, but I feel that the Google Adsense business in it present form is not transparent.
I therefore, request all AdSense publishers to stop displaying Google advertisements with immediate effect and ask these Google people for some transparent method such as pay per thousand impressions excluding all page views from local network and, or the server itself.

Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation; one of them kept complaining of his family problems.
Finally, the other man said, “You think, only you have family problems? Listen to my situation.”.
He continued, “A few years ago, I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter. We got married and got myself a step-daughter. Later, my father married my step-daughter. That made my step-daughter, my step-mother. And my father became my step-son. Also, my wife, the daughter-in-law of father, became mother-in-law of her father-in-law.”.
After a small pause, “Much later the daughter of my wife, my step-mother, had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father’s son. But he was also the son of my wife’s daughter which made him my wife’s grand-son. That made me the grand-father of my half-brother.”
And, “This was nothing until my wife and I had a baby. Now the half-sister of my son, my step-mother, is also his grand-mother. This makes my father, the brother-in-law of my child, whose step-sister is my father’s wife, I am my step-mother’s brother-in-law, my wife is her own child’s aunt, my son is my father’s nephew and I am my OWN GRANDFATHER!”.
He finalized, “And you think, only you have FAMILY PROBLEMS!!!”.
