What is the best way to update all the ports?
Either you use pkg_add to update your ports from the snapshot directory
on the ftp server (set PKG_PATH to the right directory, AFAIR it is
described in the FAQ) or you can try a "little" Perl script I wrote. It
builds ports (in parallel builds if you wish) in the correct build order
and updates the installed packages. Instructions how to get the script
can be found here:
http://www.markus-hennecke.de/openbsd_current_en.html#autoupdate
Remember to copy the autoupdaterc file to ~/.autoupdaterc, so that
broken ports that need the in-tree libtool to build properly are build
correctly and the logging is set up. Adjust the list of pseudo flavors
to your liking.
Just a warning: The officially supported way is to update via snapshots,
so there may be some ports that don't build using the script. Most of
the time this can be solved by using the in-tree libtool, if you run
across one of those ports let me know and I will add the port to the
list of libtool_ports in the rc file. If you don't know how to handle a
situation where a specific port does not build for whatever reasons
using the script is definitely not a good idea...
I would like to hear either success or failure reports from those using
the script.
Kind regards,
Markus
