For auto updating we need a list of all the PKGNAMEs which a port has been known by in the past... We should be able to get this from Makefile,v. Doing the update is not difficult if you have this. The other thing you need is a (perl) script which can take two PLISTs and merge them together to get one, which has all the @exec's and @unexec's in the right places... -Jeremy -- FreeBSD - Because the best things in life are free... http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
