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?
