Hey all, Just a quickie question before I hack something together for myself ... is there a pre-existing "quick-n-dirty" (or heck, even clean) way that people check to see when ports are out of date (w.r.t. to their /usr/ports tree) after they CVSup the ports collection? For instance, last night I updated my ports tree and went to sleep while it ran. This morning I looked through the logs to see what had changed, etc. I noticed a new version of "gcombust" which I'm playing with to burn CDs was available. I just happened to notice this though. Is there something somebody has hacked up to look at the ports they currently have installed on their machine and cross reference that to the versions available in /usr/ports/*/Makefile to give a quick 'report' on things that could be upgraded? I didn't see any target like such in /usr/ports/Makefile and the man pages on pkg_info, etc. didn't give hints that anything like this exists currently. Thanks to all who maintain, create, patch, or otherwise work on ports! -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.
