from Gary Aitken <freebsd@dreamchaser.org>:
I'm trying to build a script to rebuild and reinstall everything I have installed from ports. I don't want to have to keep checking on it and filling out the
+appropriate check boxes for options. I naively assumed:
for port in $ports
do
cd /usr/port/$port
make config-recursive
cd ../..
done
would allow me to set up all the dependencies before continuing with the install.
It appears, however, that it doesn't really recurse properly. I say "appears" only because this is my first time trying this and despite doing the above
+setting of options, I am confronted with additional options screens as the build progresses.
Is there a way to get around this?
This has happened to me too, all too many times.
One way to avoid this problem is to run
make config-recursive
repeatedly until you get no more dialog screens.
Or you can try portmaster as Subhro Sankha Kar suggests; I am only getting started with portmaster, successfully portmastered cdrtools.
I have a lot of ports now to upgrade (master?) I like to keep a log such as by
(command) | & tee /path/to/log-file, or anything else that works equally well.
