Hi all, I really enjoy using pkgng, and I love that all my packages are build on a clean system without any possible quirks. I found that installing from ports is a bit of a pain on these machines however, because I don't have any of the development packages installed (gcc47 etc). I found I ended up installing these, but didn't like the 'pollution'. I chucked together two scripts, buildthis and upgradethis and figured people might find them useful. All you need do is install it and Tinderbox and either: # buildthis category/port [category2/port2 ....] or # cd /usr/ports/category/port && buildthis A build will be created for Tinderbox if necessary and the port will have a package built and installed. Requires Tinderbox, if people want it around poudriere then please let me know. Caveat emptor: I just wanted this to work for me... the code quality isn't anything special http://www.bayofrum.net/cgi-bin/fossil/buildthis/tarball/buildthis-d503b895e8cc3883.tar.gz?uuid=d503b895e8cc3883dc5c6f2ed006b22ed10547ff Chris -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
