Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been automating some routine stuff on my machine and one of them is cvsuping ports-all and pulling the distfiles overnight (while everybody is asleep.) Keeping portupgrade right up to date feels like the right thing to do and I was thinking about adding this to the shell script I'm writing. This sounds like a chicken and egg question but, can the portupgrade tool safely upgrade itself? In other words, adding portupgrade -Rr portupgrade in the script after the cvsup run. TIA...
