I made some noise about writing a program to update from ports any programs that I had actually installed. I took the output of out-of-date and did pretty well with a little python program, hmm, attached. And then a similar approach to (use -D update).
But consider that out-of-date continues to generate a lot of output. For
instance,
audio/faac # c.56.0->c.57.0
I have made multiple attempts to eliminate this line and have concluded I am
not
simply holding my chin wrong. Perhaps I am seeing here some sort of mismatch
between the src and ports tree? Which is something outside my scope of
interest. Or maybe I just need to do that one more right thing, that is
obvious
to everyone else?
Perhaps an offering of a clue?
