Dear all,
What i wandt is building packages during the night.
Unfortunatly, I coudn't set crontab for a portupgrade job.
After cron having run '/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -Np
sysutils/detach'
under root, when i look to /var/tmp/portupgrade.result,
it's sayes "+" for that package and
/var/tmp/portupgrade-sysutils::detach doesn't exist at all.
When i look at 'PACKAGES'/All, there is no 'detach' package.
If I run the same command manualy, it's react normaly, i.e:
building the package, installing it and then, packaging it as
expected,
with portupgrade logs reflecting the whole process corectly.
I apologize about beeing really confused. Here some (stupid?) newbe
questions about portupgrade and kernel/world building :
1. Any tips about building binary packages from ports under
a user account insteed of the root account ?
2. How do I setup environement and crontab for building automaticaly
binary packages from ports with portupgrade ?
Furthermore, let's say I'm running a 4.6-release-p3. I rebuild
world first for each OS patch received (cvsup).
3. Are 'buildworld' objects needed for kernel builds made on the
same patch level (ie: whenn rebuilding p3 kernel for tuning);
3.1 if not, I could empty /usr/obj before rebuilding kernel, right ?
3.2 if yes, do I need to rebuild world after each kernel config
change,
or is it sufficient to left 'world' objects (i.e: /usr/obj)
untouched after first p3's full build ?
4. Is rebuilding of used ports needed for each new OS patch (i.e:
going from p2 to p3, p3 to p4...
4.1 if yes, do I need to rebuild all packages or is it sufficient to
rebuild only those packages that use shared libs affected by the
new os patch ?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Kindest regards
Bertrand
