Basically I'm looking for exclude mask functionality when updating a
ports tree with poudriere ports.
Do I need to do this manually or have I missed something?
I don’t think it’s easy to do that. How would you handle dependencies?
(For example, some ports require X11 libs and stuff, even though
they’re in a different category.)
You're right of course. My logic was wrong, and wrong premise[1] because I
was stuck on thinking a bulk -a build. But I found how to do it
(to remove categories) in case anyone is interested. The key is in the
method used to update the tree, which is svn+https.
so, from the top of the ports tree, svn update --set-depth=exclude biology
would exclude the biology category permanently.
svn update --set-depth=infinity biology would re-add it.
svn update --set-depth=infinity would make it be like nothing was
excluded in the first place.
but on reflection, it breaks a little of the ports infrastructure and I
don't want to do that.
[1] used to use portupgrade -a but poudriere bulk -a is not
equivalent!!! am just getting to grips with poudriere lol
