And as it does in somewhat an "illegal" way to do the job (i.e. it does something out of the ports/packages framework), I have completely no intention of putting it into the system. The fact that it's written in Ruby is also a good reason not to do that. :> I'll write some more useful tools in addition, but they are just meant to be a workaround until the openpackages framework, which is naturally supposed to provide the updating facilities, is realized. P.S. By the way, it's a shame that even pkg_version hasn't still been implemented correctly (i.e. it still doesn't compare version numbers the way the Porter's Handbook says) although someone (it's me ;) had submitted a patch long time ago. I don't push that any more, but doesn't anyone really care? -- / /__ __ Akinori.org / MUSHA.org / ) ) ) ) / FreeBSD.org / Ruby-lang.org Akinori MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( @ iDaemons.org / and.or.jp "We're only at home when we're on the run, on the wing, on the fly" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
