Not exactly "automatic", but try:
pkg_version -c > need.to.update
Then manually edit 'need.to.update' (or whatever you called your
file). Edit it by putting a ``!/bin/sh'' as the first line, and then go
through and remove or correct any additions that you don't want - example,
when I run it it offers up that I should upgrade to XFree4.0, which I don't
want to do, so I remove those lines.
Also, on every line that shows ``make install'' I usually add on ``&& make
clean'' after that to make sure the work directories get cleaned out.
Do all that, make the file executable, run it, and come back once in a
while to stir or add water as needed. Some updates will require manual
intervention or questions answered, but it sure beats having to create a
script yourself =)
Hope that helps,
John
