- This is a script to automatically update installed ports via source from
- the ports tree. It uses the out-of-date script, provided by the ports tree
- in the infrastructure/build directory to pick all outdated ports. This
- means that all cases of outdated ports should be covered like
- - library version changes in the base system
- - dependend ports updated
- - new version of ports
- The script has a few drawbacks:
- 1. There are some ports that ship a broken libtool implementation. That
- libtool will pull in libs from already installed software, because the
- search path is not ordered correctly. glib2, gnash and cairo are among
- those ports I am currently aware of, but I guess that the list will grow
- in the future.
- Some ports can be build via using the systems own libtool, for these ports
- patches for the Makefile are in the patches subdirectory. With the current
- version of the script, those ports may be added to the variable
- "libtool_ports" in the rc file, if a port is listed there the LIBTOOL
- environment variable will be set while the script is running, no need to
- patch the Makefile of the port any more.
- 2. It is not yet finished. There are major parts missing like command line
- handling and handling of some of the problems described above automatically.
- I have installed a limited set of packages, so some corner cases may
- require a different handling or an altered regex for parsing the output from
- the out-of-date script. Feel free to report those things to me.
- 3. Some ports are updated and get another dependency list. These dependencies
- may not be installed yet, so they are silently build by the updated port.
