Or maybe it's not that difficult, just a bit time-consuming (for the tool,
not the writer :)) - it's just a Simple Matter Of Scripting(tm) something
like:
cd /var/db/pkg
for p in *; do
if [ -d "$p" ] && [ -f "$p/+CONTENTS" ]; then
o=3D`awk -F: '$1 =3D /@comment ORIGIN/ {print $2}' "$p/+CONTENTS"`
n=3D`make -C "/usr/ports/$o" -V UNIQUENAME`
printf '%s:%s:%s\n' "$p" "$o" "$n"
fi
done
G'luck,
Peter
