hi *, i'm thinking about writing a perl script that updates installed packages automatically, if there's a newer version in the ports directory. unfortunately, the package name, as in /var/db/pkg, in some cases does not correspond to the ports directory name at all. for example, the port in 'archivers/gshar+gunshar' contains the package 'sharutils-4.2'. would it be a good idea to store the port's path information somewhere, e.g. in a file 'pkg/+PORTPATH'? -- christian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
