In a message listed in this thread someone has mentioned that this can already be done from cron. ( make -C /usr/src update ) at your own preferred time of updating. No offense but including something like this into the periodic system without a way to randomize the time at which it will actually run would be irresponsible while wreaking havoc on the source servers and I would strongly advise against it. *** If a way to randomize the time at which this is run is conceived and you wish to proceed I would also strongly advise that it is moved to a periodic weekly location instead. *** Personally I see updating your source tree as a interactive process unless for the use of a mirroring server which is not needed on every machine this would end up on. Adding this I only see results of blatant enabling the controls creating pointless mirrors. Maybe adding this to src/tools would be a better place or creating a port for this.
