Yes.
Here's how I do updates:
I have
DEVELOPER=yes
in /etc/make.conf. I copy the current port to some temp directory:
cd /usr/ports && tar cf - mail/alpine | ( cd ~/myp; tar xf -)
Then I modify the copy:
cd ~/myp/mail/alpine
# change version
vi Makefile
# fix distinfo, make makesum does this for mw
make makesum
# then I check the build and stuff on my test system (10.1-amd64)
rm -rf work && make check-plist
[ some iterations later ]
# I then test it with poudriere in three architectures:
# copy to the poudriere ports tree (~/pp in my case):
cd ~/myp && tar cf - mail/alpine | ( cd ~/pp; tar xf -)
# and tests:
for i in 10x 93a 84i
do
name=`echo $port-$i | sed -e 's/\//__/g'`
echo -n "$i "
poudriere testport -j $i -o $port -n > ~/logs/${name}-${stmp}.txt
done
# if it works on all plattforms, I compare my changes to the old port:
cd /usr/ports && diff -r -u -N mail/alpine ~/myp/mail/alpine
This diff can be attached to the problem report in bugzilla.
