Just in case anyone wants some other perspectives, I have been
toying with a package updating/rebuilding mechanism of compiling
a list of everything that is currently installed, in dependancy
order, then blowing everything away, then rebuilding from the
list.
Here's my dependancy-ordered list building script. It's rough,
and it has some ugly hacks to select only the version that I'm
actually interested in, where ports are available in multiple
versions:
#!/bin/sh
ls -1 /var/db/pkg |\
sed -e 's/-[^-]*$//' |\
while read i; do grep "^$i-[^-]*|" /usr/ports/INDEX ; done |\
sed -e '/^netscape-navigator-4.08/d;/^python-1.5/d;/^mpd-2/d;/^samba-2.2/d;/^tk-8\.[02]/d;/^tcl-8\.[02]/d;/^squid-2.[23]/d;/^bash-1/d;/^xemacs-19/d;/^xemacs-20/d;/^tkrat-1/d' |\
awk -F \| '{print $1, $8, $9}' |\
sed -e 's/XFree86-3.3.6_9/XFree86-4.1.0_4/g;s/ghostscript-5.50a/ghostscript-6.50_6/g;/^python-2.0/d' |\
awk '{ if (NF>1) for (i=2; i<NF; i++) print $i, $1; else print $1, $1 }' |\
tsort
The first time I've used this, I follow it with another pipe
that produces a list of /usr/ports/foo/bar directories that
corresponds to each of the port names, and then run a loop that
cd's to each of them in turn, and does a make install clean.
The only catches that I came across were:
* The 'distfiles' that I've been maintaining by CVS or patch
(mozilla, wine, XFree86) generally fail the checksum test, and
I haven't worked out a way to assert IGNORE_CHECKSUM just for
those.
* Some of the ports require interaction. I dare say that there
is a flag to turn this off, but I haven't found it yet.
* There's some ugly interaction with openGL, the
XFree86-4/matrox G200 gl support and the xscreensaver port
that always stops the gnome port from building. I usually
just comment that line out of the RUN_DEPENDS in the makefile.
