For auto updating we need a list of all the PKGNAMEs which a port has
been known by in the past... We should be able to get this from
Makefile,v.
Doing the update is not difficult if you have this. The other thing you
need is a (perl) script which can take two PLISTs and merge them together
to get one, which has all the @exec's and @unexec's in the right
places...
