So, I was running into some problems w/ how livecheck works.
The information on https://guide.macports.org/#reference.livecheck isn't
that helpfull in understanding, what's going on, but my educated guess
is the following :
1) the livecheck.url is dowloaded
2) the list of files is filtered through the livecheck.regex
3) if a version# -gt than the current version# is found, it's reported
My 1st problem was understanding what livecheck.types actually exists,
so ...
find . -type f -name Portfile \
| xargs -n1 awk '/livecheck.type/{print $2}' \
| sort -u \
| xargs -n3 printf '%-26s%-26s%-26s\n'
freecode git gnome
gnome-with-unstable gnu googlecode
md5 moddate no
none pypi regex
regexm
🤔 I think that 'no' should be 'none'
But what's the mechanism behind them ?
Where can I find an in-depth tutorial on these mechanisms ?
The 🤓 in me tried to get an isight by running this :
declare -i i
while read -u 9 livecheckType
do
i=0 ; echo -e "\n\n${livecheckType}"
while read -u 8 portfile
do
[[ "$( awk '/livecheck.type/{print $2}' "${portfile}" )" \
!= "${livecheckType}" ]] && continue
grep -H "livecheck." "${portfile}" \
| sed -E -e 's!Portfile:! !'
[[ $(( ++i )) -ge 5 ]] && break
done 8< <( find . -type f -name Portfile )
done 9< <( find . -type f -name 'Portfile' \
| xargs -n1 awk '/livecheck.type/{print $2}' \
| sort -u ) \
| tee ../logs/livecheck.log
Hideously computaitonally expensive; and could be optimized to only run
through the Portfiles once ... by it gets the job done ... eventually 🤣🤔🤓
