Alternatively, if someone were sufficiently motived they could put together an SA utilities port that installs a number of maintenance scripts which a user can enable.
This sounds like a very good idea to me. As far as I can see, there's only
one script required, which can be based on Jeremy's one in ports/127242
but extended so that:
* allow various flags to be passed to sa-update
- alternative update channels
- extra GPG keys
- gpghomedir setting
* sa-compile can optionally be run if any updates are downloaded
This should be installed as a daily periodic script -- which should be
appropriate for most users: anyone wanting more frequent updates can just
run it stand-alone as a cron job.
Anything else? Jeremy -- any objections to my stealing your script as the
basis of this?
Cheers,
Matthew
