Hi, I read at the project idea page about the UPDATING parser and displayer. I wrote a small script that parses and displays entries from /usr/ports/UPDATING: pkg_updating
With the -p argument only entries for the given portname are shown. Without the -p argument entries for all installed ports are shown. The -f defines an alternative location of the UPDATING file. With the -d argument only newer entries than the given date are shown. Examples: Shows all entries of all installed ports: # pkg_updating Shows all entries of all installed ports since 2007-01-01 # pkg_updating -d 20070101 Shows all entries for all apache ports # pkg_updating -p apache Shows all apache entries since 2006-01-01 # pkg_updating -p apache -d 20060101 Defines that the UPDATING file is in /tmp and shows all entries of all installed ports: # pkg_updating -f /tmp/UPDATING Known issues: - pkg_updating needs a colon at the end of the date line. Some entries don't have this colon. This patch adds the missing colons: http://tmp.chruetertee.ch/pkg_updating/UPDATING.patch pkg_updating is available here: http://tmp.chruetertee.ch/pkg_updating/ Comments, suggestions and patches are very welcome!
