Greetings, all. I am running 4.10-Stable, and I have the following question about portupgrade. So far, I have not had a successful build of OpenOffice (on any version of FreeBSD... ever... so I use their binaries as they become available), and the samba port is broken (until I upgrade the system to 5.x). What I do now is simply grep a list of installed ports with updates available and send the outbut to a file. (ie, # portversion | grep "<" > ~/pupdate.sh ) Then I edit ~/pupdate.sh so that every line begins with "portupgrade -R." (And, of course, I delete the samba and OpenOffice entries) In other words my file would look something like this: >>> #!/bin/sh portupgrade -R blip portupgrade -R blop portupgrade -R bluey <<< make it executable, run it overnight, and fix the small stuff in the morning. Obviously, because I like to upgrade my systems every week, this gets old. Is there any way I can tell portupgrade to simply portupgrade -aR (except for a specific list of packages)? If not, does anyone have a more simple solution? And again, if not, would this be considered a worthy suggestion for the developers of /portupgrade? Thanks
