updating packages automatically...

[Christian Carstensen]

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'?
