For now, if the script assumes that the port checkout is an SVN tree, and you can run SVN operations on it, that should be sufficient. For duplicates, I don't think it matters so much. I believe poudriere is smart enough so that if you pass it a list of ports with duplicate entries, it does the right thing. At this point, the output format is not so important. For now, making sure that error status is propagated as a return value from the script (0 on success, non-zero on failure) is a good start. The only other suggestion that I have is that when you work on the script, make sure that you put a proper license in it (BSD license preferred). Thanks. -- Craig
