Nice idea ! I'll have a look. BTW I've had something somewhat similar for maybe a decade or so http://berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.csh/customise mine does: - src + ports, - generic + personal diffs as 2 parallel patch trees (cos some of my patches I hope may appeal generaly but some probaly only I will ever want), - targets a load of different release levels inc current - only does a one off pass, installing files & applying diffs to a virgin tree. Your approach will be nicer than mine for tracking current ports. I look forward to trying it, & if necessary perhaps bending my patch trees to fit your macros :-) > In case the list scrubs hte text attachment (diff) here's the > description part of the diff.
