Hi
OpenBSD project has ports tree which contains a lot of applications
(about 8k in latest release).
I believe it is a lot of pain for maintainers of these ports to keep
port in 'up to date' state and not less pain to keep eyes on
the latest version of applications.
I suggest to implement target in bsd.port.mk which allows to check availability
of new app version
for each port. It is based on fact that developers publish archives with latest
version but archive
has fixed name.
Patch implements that idea is attached. It is a little bit ugly,
but it can say more than words above.
I have found al least 7 projects where developers publish such archives.
They are: redis, samba, gnu tar, webmin, ruby, videolan, mercurial.
Patches for database/redis and net/samba ports are attached.
And now it looks like:
$ make check-latest
===> Checking files for redis-2.8.3
`/usr/ports/distfiles/redis-2.8.3.tar.gz' is up to date.
===> Checking files for redis-2.8.3
`/usr/ports/distfiles/redis-stable.tar.gz' is up to date.
File redis-2.8.3.tar.gz has newer version
