I notice that port executables seem to get significantly stale quicker
than I thought. At least stuff stops fully working and maybe I should
try to rebuild the executables.
Now I do not know of a way for me to automatically rebuild ports that
I have previously installed and only those ports. And I am not
inclined to do a true bulk build.
Now I tend to favor python and it would seem there is enough
information to write a program that would support that kind of limited
automatic rebuild. Sort of thinking I might be able to look at port
tree make files and see where the executable would have gone and see
if the executable is actually there. Keep it simple and generate a
script with a lot cd's and make's in it and then execute it.
Does this seem like it would be of use to more than just myself? Any
thoughts about the right design and algorithm? Or is there already an
obvious to a non-luser way to do this?
