Folks,
[Not on -ports, please CC replies to me]
Does anyone know of a program that'll run through /var/db/pkg and produce
a report of installed packages that have got a newer version in the
ports INDEX file?
I just cobbled together something to do this, and it produces a report
that looks like this (on my system);
XFree86-contrib-3.3.1 -> 3.3.3
pkg_delete XFree86-contrib-3.3.1
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-contrib
make install
cvsup-15.4 -> 15.4.2
pkg_delete cvsup-15.4
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup
make install
ddd-2.2.3 -> 3.1.1
pkg_delete ddd-2.2.3
cd /usr/ports/devel/ddd
make install
docproj -> 1.0
pkg_delete docproj
cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj
make install
dotfile-2.0 -> 2.2
pkg_delete dotfile-2.0
cd /usr/ports/misc/dotfile
make install
...
If this sort of tool doesn't exist, would anyone else find it useful? If
so, I'll turn it into a port and commit it.
