I had posted earlier about a wild hair I had about a python program to rebuild
ports that have actually been installed, but are out of date.. A suggestion
was
to use perl, based on some existing perl libraries. Poking around, I find
out-of-date. This seems to create output that describes every port that should
be rebuilt. On my system, this is voluminous, because a number of dependencies
have been updated, which here implies a need to rebuild.
In terms of my original project idea, the output could be captured and drive
the
rebuilds.
However, there are first output pages of error messages. Perhaps a couple of
variables are not properly initialized.
There is no man page.
Perhaps I should go through a relearn perl and fix the error messages cycle.
Sort of as a stand alone project. What do you think?
