`awk' could probably handle that. Something like this*:
BEGIN { system("pkg update") }
{ while ("pkg info " $1 | getline line > 0) { if ( line ~ /^Available/) {
packages = package $1 " "; break } }
END { "pkg -y upgrade " packages }
# awk -f pkg_upgrade.awk ~/origins/CA72-pkgs.txt
1. updates pkg repo[s] once
2. checks each package's info for a line begins with "Available" (I think
packages with available updates have such a line)
3. creates a list of those packages
4. updates them all together
* Not tested
** `pkg query' might have an entry for 'available update' but the manpage
didn't reveal one
*** you can use a pattern to only match specific packages inside your file; the
current empty pattern matches all
