Hello, For some time I was working on portmaster alternative called upgrade-ports. My main motivation is to write tool that is easy to use and automates upgrades as much as possible, I would like to get feedback from community to help me improve it.
How it's different from portmaster: - Uses portsnap to update port's tree for you (can be disabled) - Tracks changes in MOVED, UPDATING files, compares it with local packages and applies upgrades information with user confirmation when needed for sanity checking - Offers to remove obsoleted packages - Tries to resolve conflicts that may appear with upgrades - Before doing upgrades shows summary explaining any changes similar to pkg upgrade one - After upgrading checks package database for errors (pkg check) and offers package recompilation/installation if needed (not PORTREVISION bumped ports when dependency library changed it's SOVERSION for example) - For now it does not support options setting How to test: install ports-mgmt/ports-tools version 1.2 committed yesterday -- pozdrawiam / with regards Paweł Pękala _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
