I ran into a little problem with my "old" crontab scripts.
I do the following:
portsnap -I cron update
/usr/local/sbin/portmaster -y --clean-distfiles
/usr/local/sbin/portmaster -aF
pkg version -vIL
After changing to pkg the check for outdated ports fails on the -L flag
pkg version -vIL
pkg: option requires an argument -- L
usage: pkg version [-IPR] [-hoqv] [-l limchar] [-L limchar] [[-X] -s string]
[-r reponame] [-O origin] [index]
pkg version -t <version1> <version2>
pkg version -T <pkgname> <pattern>
According to "pkg help version" the -l -L should be followed by limchar.
Unfortunately it is not clear what limchar can be. Looking at the
examples in help I drew the conclusion that limchar can be one of the
following:
= < > ? !
And in my case I would need the -L < to show which packages need to be
updated. But that is not the case.
root@blj01~:pkg version -vIL=
root@blj01~:pkg version -vIL<
Missing name for redirect.
root@blj01~:pkg version -vIL>
Missing name for redirect.
root@blj01~:pkg version -vIL?
pkg: No match.
root@blj01~:pkg version -vIL!
Lists all installed packages
I would very much like a suggestion on how to get this right.
Thank you
/Leslie
